I am also extremely excited to announce I have booked Mr. Dick Runchey formerly of International Baseball (IBAF)
to speak at our “Black & Blue Umpire Camps Appreciation Dinner” on Saturday evening. Dick may be the most
respected umpire in the world among college and international baseball umpires, coaches, and administrators. Dick
attended Somers Umpire School and worked in the minor leagues, while also instructing at the school. After his
stint in the minor leagues, he had what most would consider a premier collegiate umpiring career, working in the
Big Ten and Mid-American Conferences. During his 20+ seasons in college baseball he worked countless Big Ten
and Mid-American Conference Tournaments, 19 NCAA Division I Regional Tournaments, and 5 College World
Series. He was selected to work the plate in four different NCAA College World Series National Championship
Games. In 2002 Dick was inducted into the Amateur Baseball Umpires Association (ABUA) Hall of Fame. He is
currently Executive Director of the ABUA. Throughout his time in college baseball, Dick also gained international
respect and prominence and was assigned to work the USA/Japan series, Pan American Games, World

Championships, and Olympic Games. He has served as a Regional Evaluator for the NCAA Umpire Program, Umpire Evaluator for the Collegiate
Baseball Umpires Alliance, and President of the Amateur Baseball Umpires Association. In 2007 he was named as one of three Regional Advisors
for the NCAA National Umpire Program. Dick is in constant demand as a clinician and has taught at umpire camps throughout the United States
and in many foreign countries. Dick is currently Director of Umpires for the International Baseball Federation. He selects, supervises, and oversees
the training and evaluation of umpire’s at all senior and junior level international tournaments throughout the world.
