Baseball, Umpires and Mudmajor league baseball use Louisiana mud or Mississippi mud to rub baseball i know because i work for a team as the bat boy.
I've noticed they have 2 additional umpires for playoff games this year, totaling 6. Must be a new standard. Depends in a Major league game there is 4 umpires on a field any minor league games normally 3 but it can depend on who can be there.
Before the season starts Major League umpires are put into crews, and the crews are scheduled for their games by Major League Baseball. Once the playoffs start individual umpires are selected based on their grades during the season.
No, this would be too complicated and umpires are usually not consistent on most occasions.
The NL and the AL used to maintain separate groups of umpires, but Major League Baseball combined them some years ago, and now, all umpire crews work both NL and AL games.
Most minor-league umpires aspire to advance to the major leagues, but only a small percentage achieve this goal due to the highly competitive nature of professional baseball. Many umpires gain valuable experience and skills in the minors, and some may eventually transition to other roles within baseball, such as coaching or officiating in different leagues. Unfortunately, a significant number of minor-league umpires face challenges such as low pay and job instability, leading some to leave the profession altogether.
I would have a system similar to cricket, or rugby league or other sports with qualified umpires working as video umpires or refs. Umpires could call for assistance on close calls. You could also have teams being allowed a certain number of challenges at the discretion at the coach.
