Douglas Eddings (born September 14, 1968) is a veteran Major League Baseball umpire who has officiated in the big leagues since 1998, becoming a crew chief in 2025. Over his career, he has worked two World Series (2019, 2024) and three League Championship Series, and he was behind the plate for historic moments like Cal Ripken Jr.'s final game (2001) and Carlos Rodon's no-hitter (2021). He is also remembered for a controversial call in Game 2 of the 2005 ALCS, where he ruled a dropped third strike that helped the White Sox win, a decision that drew heavy criticism and led him to change his signaling style. In 2021, he faced further backlash from the San Diego Padres, who filed a formal complaint after two games with disputed strike zones. Eddings reached a major milestone by working his 3,000th career game on June 13, 2023, cementing his status as one of the game's most experienced umpires.
