Fantastic call by DJ! Have the confidence to make this call especially when it's this obvious! https://t.co/aMAwNZ5svK

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

Watch the work by the base umpire here. Two man crew. Especially like how he retreats to the working area when the BR is arriving at second to cover a possible play there. You never know what will happen on these weird plays. Great job.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

This may be the most unlikely double play I’ve ever seen.

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

Once again, umpires names are casually omitted from the box.

Names/positions were also misspelled and misstated in the 2022 Baseball finals, men who earned their spot with hard work and dedication. They deserve to be recognized, especially by the sanctioning body.

@OneClawNation @NFHS_Org @Togabaseballl Good question. I hope they address it

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

Thank you @NFHS_Org for helping us out here.

Prohibition of Jewelry Removed in High School Baseball Rules
Rules were also adjusted to only use the pivot foot to determine whether a pitcher is delivering a pitch from the wind-up or set position.

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

Quite the list, Coach!! We hope to see you around the baseball field soon, and congratulations on a fantastic career!! #thepowerlineinRFislive

Today I honor and thank all these assistant coaches who helped me. Great memories and hard work together. Memories: Fungo golf, a governor, fighting for a gorilla and pranks on teams. 10 ass't coaches became a Head coaches. So proud & thankful to all these men and friendship!

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

You're not helping.

But you can. The first meeting for the 2023 high school season is Sunday, Jan 8. Take the drive down I-65 and maybe you'll learn a thing or two.

But you won't.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Yeah, it was Sunday and it was an absolutely atrocious call. I should have spent more time arguing, honestly. Ump should be fired for sucking at his job. I’ve also been kicked out of a coed intramural flag football game & am presently banned from appearing on both ESPN and CNN.

[Chuck Tonini @Chuck_Tonini]

Fellow umpires: Please don't do this. Ever.

COACHES: We're all excited to start *real* practice tomorrow. Have you contacted your local official association and invited them to work your scrimmages? This is our Spring Training, so to speak. Help us get better and let us work a few innings at your scrimmages. @AHSAAupdates

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

If you're not in the Huntsville area, let us know and we'll get you in touch with your local group!

[Rocco DiSangro @RoccoDiSangro]

There has been a huge shortage in officiating due to COVID-19, and all of the associations are needing officials to come out for the upcoming Spring season.

If you have any interest in being a spring sports official, reach out to the great people at @GHUA_HSV 👇

[Greater HSV Umpires @GHUA_HSV]

Be better, Dak.
