I am not aware of any. Personally I think women would be able to make a call just as well as a man.

As of today, there have not been any female umpires in the major leagues, NL or AL. There have been a few in AAA and AA. The are a couple that ump in college ball. However, most of the female umps played in college and do softball.
The biggest reason you don't see many female umps is the life. As a former ump you are constanly on the road. The assignments you get are never where you want to be. You are always on your own until you get to the game. And you gotta love it because the pay at the lower levels suck. And, in order to rise in the system you have to know the game and be really good at what you do.
It is a tough life. Not to say a woman could not do it, some have tried. It is easier to get into basketball.

Pam Postema almost made it, as she got as high as AAA and even umped behind homeplate in Buffalo the first year the AL AAA
teams played the NL AAA teams. Any woman who can do the job should have a chance to work in the Major Leagues.

there are particular regulations to umping in the great leagues. a chum of mines dad tried to do this and he exceeded each attempt to grow to be an ump, yet get this... there's a top regulation. They easy 6'4" in the great leagues and there are not very many females that top. It is wise to me using fact they could desire to crouch over the catchers, once you get a guy like Piazza the ump must be extensive. adult adult males in many circumstances play baseball and females in many circumstances play softball, so i don't see a issue with females sticking to umping softball. the great leagues for softball have not gained plenty improve yet all of us understand college worldwide sequence have, i think of females could desire to purpose for the faculty umping first. yet another random fact approximately MLB umps is that its like a intense type secret society of adult adult males. maximum of those umps have finished time good jobs and careers like legal experts and medical doctors!

That sounds like a good idea. I'm sure that has been suggested at some point.

Women can do anything men can. All men came from a woman.

In other leagues I guess they are okay.
But they should not be allowed in MLB.
