Stuart Jeffrey Scheurwater (born May 6, 1983) is a Canadian Major League Baseball (MLB) umpire. He made his MLB debut on April 25, 2014, and was hired to the full-time staff in December 2017.[1][2]
Scheurwater grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan and aspired to play in the Canadian Football League like his uncle, Scott Redl. He made it as far as the Regina Thunder of the Canadian Junior Football League but, after failing to make the squads of the University of Regina or the University of Saskatchewan, he began umpiring baseball games.[3]
Prior to his professional career, Scheurwater was a member of Baseball Canada’s National Umpiring program and worked the Baseball Canada Cup in 2005 Medicine Hat and the 21U National Championship in 2006 in Guelph, Ontario. [4]
