Career highlights and awards

Mark Patrick Wegner (born March 4, 1972) is a Major League Baseball umpire. He worked in the National League from 1998 to 1999, and throughout both major leagues since 2000.

Wegner has umpired in seven Division Series (2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013), four League Championship Series (2007, 2014, 2015, 2016), and two World Baseball Classics (2009, 2013). He also officiated in the 2008 All-Star Game, the 2014 National League Wild Card Game, and the 2013 World Series. Wegner wears uniform number 14, and previously wore uniform number 47.

On June 2, 2007, Wegner was involved in a heated argument with Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella. After Wegner ruled that Ángel Pagán was out at third on an attempted steal, Piniella, who later acknowledged the call was correct, stormed out of the dugout, threw his hat down, and started kicking dirt on Wegner. Piniella would be ejected and given a four-game suspension and he later apologized to Wegner.
