Ryan Eastwood is named Rookie of the Year by the WA Baseball Umpires Association!

Ryan Eastwood in Year 12 started umpiring baseball in Year 7, after playing for three years. Last year he qualified from Green Shirt trainee to full umpire while still only 15 years of age, and he also went to the Gold Coast to umpire in a national tournament. This year he was named Rookie of the Year by the WA Baseball Umpires Association at their annual dinner. Ryan loves all things baseball, and umpiring gives him the opportunity to immerse himself in the game while earning some money and gaining experience of managing potentially volatile situations.
