on the average, how many umpires get hit by baseballs each season?
552019
I'd guess that pretty much all of them get hit at some point during the season - foul balls ricocheting backwards are quite common.  There are a total of 68 MLB umpires, so that's probably how many get hit.

Three play in the field at any time.  Most teams carry 2 or 3 additional players capable of playing the outfield.  With 30 teams, there are probably 150+ outfielders in the major leagues.

There are 162 games per year for each team (not counting spring training or playoffs) and 30 MLB teams, 14 in the American League, 16 in the National League.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Umpires are very very strange people. Wonder what planet they come from? Hmm. ;)\n\nNowadays, umpires hardly ever call off a game. As long as the field is not extremely wet as in flooding, its okay to them. Even if it means players are sliding everywhere, its okay to them. Well thats cuz all they do is stand still and yell. Lazy bums!\n\nTwo things:\n(1) Umpires are usually weird enough that they usually will play until the 5th inning and THEN call the game.\n(2) Or even better, they make the teams wait hours on end to a rain delay, and THEN call the game.

Work on your spares. If you make all your spares and throw one double a game you can average 200. You don't need to throw a lot of strikes to have a high average.

What age level?  Get with your local newspaper and your local umpire's association.  You need both to get things started.  I started a league 6 years ago here for men, and it was a real pain getting more than 6 teams started that first year.  However, we found that there are teams wanting to play who are looking for a home.  Make contacts, and get the word out until people cannot help but to say, "Well, here comes that baseball league speech again!"  When they know what's up, they'll come.  If you build it, they will come...

Getting hit by the ball is part of the job.  I ump for young kids, 12U.  I wear steel toe shoes, shin guards, and a chest protector (sometimes).  Tell this umpire that if he can't take it, he shouldn't ump.  The league should be notified too.  Also, the league should do more to encourage and train more umpires.

Three strikes for a strikeout.  Three outs per half an inning.  The pitcher threw 9 balls, all for strikes.  Striking out all the batters in a half inning is called striking out the side.  Normally, a pitcher throws more than 9 balls per half inning - fouls and called balls.  So to strikeout the side with the minimum needed is a feat.

In the strike shortened season of 1994 (112 games) Baltimore Orioles had only 57 errors.  In a full 162 game season it was the 2003 Seattle Mariners with 65.   And to cover all the bases (so to speak)  the 1999 New York Mets had the best fielding percentage of a 162 game season with a .989 (they actually played a one game play-off so they played a 163 game season)

Yes, it has been done by 12 players.  Most recently by Bill Mueller in 2003 for the Boston Red Sox.  He hit one grand slam from each side of the plate in the same game.
