Major League Baseball will host a free, one-day umpire camp at The Diamond, home of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, the Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, on Saturday.

Staff for the event will include many accomplished former MLB Umpires, current MLB Supervisors and Observers, as well as Minor League and NCAA Officials.  Among those participating from the MLB Umpiring Department will be Cris Jones, Ed Rapuano, Charlie Reliford and Rich Rieker.

This is MLB’s third free, one-day umpire camp of 2022 for anyone interested in umpiring in baseball and softball, including those aiming to begin professional careers.
