The World Series Game 4 home plate umpire isn’t coming off a great performance.
And early in Game 4, a few ball-strike calls already looked to be different than what the official strike zone dictated.

Who is the World Series Game 4 home plate umpire?
The World Series Game 4 home plate umpire in 2025 is Doug Eddings.
Is Doug Eddings a good umpire?
Eddings is in the major leagues, so he’s not a bad umpire.
But he’s had a rough stretch.
In Game 2 of the ALCS, he missed 24 calls, according to Umpire Auditor.
That was the worst called playoff game since 2022, another game called by Eddings.
Here’s a look:
