MLB Debut of Umpire David Arrieta

Umpire David Arrieta made his MLB debut Friday during the Blue Jays-Rays game in Tampa Bay, joining chief Marty Foster and his crew of Sean Barber and Randy Rosenberg, who made his own MLB debut on August 4.

Venezuela's fifth umpire at the Major League level, Arrieta officiated in the Venezuelan, New York-Penn, Florida State, Southern, and Pacific Coast Leagues following graduation from the Jim Evans Academy for Professional Umpiring.

He also was assigned the 2016 Southern League All-Star Game.

Arrieta becomes the 13th rookie debut during MLB's shortened 2020 season.
