Mid Atlantic Officials

This photo means a lot more than it might look like at first glance.

Brennan Miller, Chris Segal, Ryan Wills and Dan Merzel are all now full time MLB umpires. What many people may not realize is that every one of them was trained by John Porter.

The picture was taken during the Nationals vs Orioles exhibition game on March 23, and it is a powerful reminder of the impact John has had on this profession. For years he has dedicated himself to teaching, mentoring and pushing umpires to reach their potential.

A lot of people wear a big league uniform today because John Porter believed in them first!
