Ted Barrett has been a major league umpire since 1994 and a crew chief since 2013. He has worked nine postseason division series, eight championship series and three World Series. He's well respected among his peers, players and managers. After a recent spring game, he sat down for a Q&A, which included everything from the new limit to mound visits to instant replay to the strike zone -- and plenty in between.
How will this work, logistically? How will umpires keep track of mound visits?
Ted Barrett: They plan on putting it on the scoreboard for everyone to see.
