Noah Katz ’26 needs no thesaurus when asked to describe what it was like to walk onto the field at Fenway Park in front of a sellout crowd of 37,000 raucous fans.

He easily comes up with a host of adjectives — “incredible,” “cool,” and “surreal” among them.

Katz, founder of @theumpirechannel, patrolled the right field line as part of the crew that umpired a @thesavbananas game in the historic ballpark earlier this month.

“It was an out-of-the-world experience — a childhood dream that I was able to live out,” he says.

Katz next umpires for the Savannahs on July 14 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., and August 10 at Cleveland’s Progressive Field.
