Does a home plate umpire make more money than a first base umpire?

The home plate umpire position does not pay more or less than the umpires in the field. In the Major Leagues, umpires are paid off of their tenure and performance in the league. The 4 umpires typically rotate their postions. After umpiring behing the plate, an umpire will typically umpire the 1st base position in the next game. He will move to 2nd and then 3rd in the following games before being back behind the plate again.


The umpire calls a ball batted behind homeplate a foul ball. The ball spins back onto homeplate without being touched. Is the ball fair or foul?

If the ball landed behind home plate, it is already a foul ball, even if it rolls back into fair territory. If the batter already has 2 strikes and then the ball is bunted foul, it's an out. The above answer is wrong. If a batted ball lands behind home plate but rolls forward and settles on the plate or in front of the plate, it is a fair ball.
