An umpire is absolutely central to the outcome of a baseball game. The umpire makes judgment calls on balls and strikes. Those calls will shape the entire at-bat, affecting the pitcher’s approach and the hitter’s strategy. The umpire also makes calls on the field, including safe or out, fair or foul, catch or no catch. The umpire plays one of the most influential roles in any sport. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
