Who's calling it.
Ronnie Gamble
Founder & Deputy Umpire-in-Chief, South Carolina
Twenty-seven years on the diamond. Five years as South Carolina's Deputy UIC under the state Umpire-in-Chief. Ronnie built ACE on one belief: bad officiating isn't the standard — training is. Every ACE umpire is prepared before they ever take the field.
