Jordan Baker (umpire)

Jordan Christopher Baker (born December 23, 1981) is an umpire for Major League Baseball.

Baker played college baseball at Oklahoma State. At 6' 7", Baker is the tallest active MLB umpire. Baker gained attention during the 2013 season for throwing wads of chewed gum onto the outfield grass after each half inning. Some critics described such action as disrespectful to the players and the ground crews.

Baker was the second base umpire on July 30, 2017, when Adrián Beltré of the Texas Rangers got his 3000th career hit against the Baltimore Orioles.
