Gary Cederstrom (CC) -- Fourth World Series Sam Holbrook -- Third World Series Lance Barksdale -- First World Series Doug Eddings -- First World Series James Hoye -- First World Series Alan Porter (On field games 1-2, Replay games 3-7) -- First World Series Jim Wolf (Replay games 1-2, on field games 3-7) -- Second World Series Don't see the specific rotations. But Alan Porter will have the plate game one. The crew will wear a patch in memory of Eric Cooper. Jerry Meals will be replay assistant throughout the series. www.mlb.com/press-release/press-release-umpires-for-the-2019-world-series-announced

My guess is Porter will work plate and RF in the first two games then off to NYC. And Wolf would have a Game 7 plate. At least that's the way they've done it before.
Four first-timers in the World Series! That's a higher than usual number of first-timers.
