Umpires are always check how many baseballs they have, and never let it get below 3. They will get replenished by a batboy or other appointed person.
Do home plate umpires still rub baseballs before games how many and with what?
There was an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discover Chanel about this. It is not the umpire that does it. It is a person that works for the home team of any given game. It is a very particular type of natural mud but i do not remember where it comes from. I have heard they prepare about 60 balls per game.
How many umpires in a baseball game?

How many umpires are in a baseball game?
There are 4 umpires in a regular season baseball game. They are situation behind home plate and the 3 bases. During end-of-year playoff series and the World Series, 2 additional umpires are added to cover the foul lines behind 1st and 3rd bases. All games have an official scorer role as well, although technically considered an umpire.
