Pro Image Officiating Academy (PIOA) is collaborating with Florida Atlantic University to train the newest generation of umpires in baseball. The CEO and former professional umpire, Zach Rebackoff, will run it beginning Sep. 3.

Rebackoff has noticed an uprise in the number of poor calls referees across all sports are making, causing severe reactions from fans.
