Has PG always used Showcases to train Umps?

dialedin100+ posts

We've only watched one other Individual PG Showcase and the Umps were not being taught/trained. During a recent showcase the entire Ump Staff was in training. There was a trainer on the field loudly instructing all the Umps who were in training/class. And it appeared most of the umps were very, very new to umpiring. One home plate ump was terrified of the baseball. We were surprised; is this now the norm for PG? Curious to know what others have experienced.
