Out of the 288 umpires currently in Minor League Baseball, 1 in every 7 umpires got their start in the Northwoods League. Malachi Moore, who was a 2011 Northwoods League umpire, was the home plate umpire for the 2018 MiLB All-Star Future’s Game. He is also on staff as one of 2 instructors (Reed Basner) that are Northwoods League alumni at the Wendelstedt Umpire School. Minor League Baseball Umpire Development (MiLBUD) has 3 Field Evaluator/Instructors that are former Northwoods League umpires.
