Who are the umpires for Dodgers-Yankees World Series Game 4?
Happy World Series, baseball fans! The Los Angeles Dodgers are dominating the series between two blue-blood franchises with the New York Yankees. And the Dodgers could clinch the Commissioner’s Trophy in Game 4 on Tuesday.
Now, we hope it doesn’t come to this, but sometimes, umpires make mistakes or create controversies over certain calls. And sometimes, those calls alter the direction of the game or series, and if that happens, you’ll probably want to know who to be mad at. We’ve got you covered.
For the 2024 World Series, the nine-person umpire crew includes crew chief Mark Carlson, Doug Eddings, Chad Fairchild, Andy Fletcher, Mark Ripperger, Todd Tichenor and Carlos Torres. Additionally, Cory Blaser and James Hoye are the umpires on replay duty.
As USA TODAY noted, the seven-umpire crew means each game is expected to have a different ump behind home plate.
For Game 4 of the 2024 World Series — set for Tuesday, October 29 at Yankee Stadium in New York — here’s where each ump is scheduled to be working.
Home plate: Doug Eddings
First base: Chad Fairchild
Second base: Todd Tichenor
Third base: Carlos Torres
Left field: Andy Fletcher
Right field: Mark Carlson
Reserve: Mark Ripperger
