This session for Apprentice and C-Tier umpires is performed in the batting cages (if possible) using pitching machines (if possible) to give the umpire trainee a chance to see pitches at something approaching game speed.  Because of this, you need to bring ALL of your protective gear or be prepared to borrow from others.  Wear a cup!

Trainees will be broken into small groups of 3-4 and assigned to a batting cage that will be staffed with trainers who will help you work on your plate performance.
