World Series umpires: MLB announces 2024 crew

Major League Baseball’s 2024 World Series begins Friday in Los Angeles, a highly-anticipated matchup between the Dodgers and New York Yankees.

The league announced its nine-man umpiring crew for the best-of-seven series, led by crew chief Mark Carlson, who is working his third career World Series. The other on-field umpires are Doug Eddings, Chad Fairchild, Andy Fletcher, Mark Ripperger, Todd Tichenor and Carlos Torres – with Cory Blaser and James Hoye assigned to replay.

With seven umpires in the rotation, each game is scheduled to have a different umpire behind home plate, starting with Torres in Game 1. One of the seven will be off the field for each game in the series.
