Chad Robert Whitson (born December 8, 1981) is an American umpire in Major League Baseball (MLB) who was hired to the full-time staff in 2019 and wears number 62.[1] He was born in Dublin, Ohio.[2] He made his MLB debut on May 15, 2014.[2] He has also umpired in the Gulf Coast League, the Appalachian League, the South Atlantic League, the California League, the Eastern League, the International League, and the Arizona Fall League.[3]
Whitson ejected San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler from a game on August 15, 2023, in which Whitson made a season-high 16 incorrect calls as the home plate umpire, as Kapler objected to Whitson's calls against rookie Wade Meckler who was playing his second game in the major leagues.[4][5][6]
