MLB announces ALDS umpire crew for Yankees-Blue Jays showdown

After what seemed like an eternity the wait is over. The Blue Jays will take on the Yankees at Rogers Centre for game 1 of the American League Division Series.

Dan Bellino will be heading up the crew of umpires, including Chris Segal, Adam Hamari, Jordan Baker, Tony Randazzo and Roberto Ortiz for the five-game series set to begin Saturday afternoon on Sportsnet and Fox.

The series will start with Segal behind the plate, Hamari at first, Baker at second, Randazzo at third, Bellino in left and Ortiz in right.

Umpires rotate from right field to left and then clockwise around the bases starting at third.

Bellino, a 15-year veteran, previously worked the 2021 World Series between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros as well as two American League Championship Series in 2019 and 2023.

Randazzo and Baker have also worked games in the World Series and the crew has been assigned a total of 10 League Championship Series between them.

Kevin Gausman and Luis Gil are set to take the mound for their respective clubs in Game 1 at the Rogers Centre.
