Doug Eddings is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Umpire who was born on September 14, 1968 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States. Douglas Leon Eddings (born September 14, 1968) is an American professional umpire in Major League Baseball.
A report in The Hardball Times listed Eddings as having called the largest strike zone among all Major League umpires in 2011, until game 2 of the 2019 world series.
Eddings was the home plate umpire for Game 2 of the 2005 ALCS between the White Sox and the Angels. White Sox batter A. J. Pierzynski quickly got two strikes and then swung at the third pitch, a splitter which came in very low. Angels catcher Josh Paul caught the ball so “thought the inning was over.” Not hearing himself called out, Pierzynski took a couple of steps toward the dugout, then turned and ran to first base while most of the Angels were walking off the field. Eddings ruled that the ball had not been legally caught (an uncaught third strike), but made no audible call that the ball hit the ground. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, announcing the game on Fox and reviewing replays of the pitch, felt the ball had clearly been caught; note that MLB did not adopt review via instant replay until the 2008 season. A pinch runner for Pierzynski subsequently scored the winning run of the game for the White Sox. According to umpire supervisor Rich Rieker, the replays showed “there was definitely a change in direction there” indicating the ball touched the ground and felt, at best, the replay was inconclusive. After the game, Eddings said he would adjust his umpiring style to clarify a third strike call from calling the batter out.
