Tom Rawlings: Everything and Then Some from Little League's Director of Umpire Development

A very special privilege in this episode to hear from Little League’s Director of Umpire Development, Tom Rawlings!

In this fun and wide-ranging conversation, we discuss:

Tom’s umpire beginnings and his role at Little League International;
His biggest game: the in-depth story of his plate assignment for the Championship Game of the 2011 Little League Baseball World Series;
What’s different between today’s Little League umpires and those from 30 years ago;
Five ways for any Little League umpire to move from good to GREAT.

You could make a pretty strong case that Tom is responsible for the training and development of more umpires than anyone else in the world… and if that’s indeed true, then after listening to this episode I think you'll agree that every Little League volunteer umpire around the world is in very good hands. Enjoy!
