Seven Mater Dei High baseball players join umpire ranks for youth leagues, gaining a new perspective on the game and life as an adult.
Amari Yolas is a three-sport star at Palisades High who works his track practices around his baseball games in the spring.The biggest learning curve for Iveson is how he comes to a game for a different purpose than being a fan or player.Eriksen said the teenagers have taken on their tasks with enthusiasm and professionalism.
They’ve become so respected that other leagues compete for their services on weekends, whether for league games or tournaments.Connors said when he was a youth player, he used to like interacting with the umpires and now has fun talking to the players, even though he’s wearing umpire gear.Former Mater Dei shortstop Ethan Hedges, now at USC, was an umpire last year.
“It’s awesome,” Connors said of umpiring. “Borderline calls, either way, you know there will be a little backlash. It’s tough, especially borderline pitches.”
