Umpire Accessories

A 3-count indicator tracks balls, strikes and outs. A 4-count indicator adds a dial for innings, useful in youth leagues with inning limits and for keeping track in long tournament days. Many plate umpires use a 4-count, while base umpires often carry a simpler 3-count. Shop all umpire accessories.

Plastic indicators, like the All Star 4 Count Plastic or Rawlings Umpire Indicator, are light and affordable, a good start for new umpires. Metal indicators, like the All Star 4 Count Professional Metal or Markwort Stainless 3-Dial, are heavier and more durable, with a solid feel that many experienced umpires prefer.

A large dial indicator, like the All Star 3 Count Large Dial, has bigger numbers and dials that are easier to read and turn, especially in low light, under the lights at night, or for umpires who prefer not to wear reading glasses on the field.

Throat protectors attach to the bottom of the mask to protect the neck from foul tips. The Wilson Neck & Throat Protector is 6" long for adult masks, and the Wilson Youth Throat Protector is 4" long for smaller masks used by young umpires. Both are made of durable ABS plastic.
