Major League career
He also officiated in nine League Championship Series (1989, 1992, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009) and in five Division Series (1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2006). He had been a crew chief from the 1998 season until his retirement following the 2009 season.
In May 2008, Marsh underwent open-heart surgery. He returned to the field in August.
Marsh was the crew chief of Crew P for 2009, which included: Mike Winters, Alfonso Márquez, and Lance Barksdale.
Marsh is known for a comparatively small yet highly consistent strike zone, meaning he is among the most popular umpires for pitchers as well as hitters.
Marsh retired from umpiring following the 2009 season, and is now the Director Of Umpiring for Major League Baseball.
Marsh is a graduate of Covington Holmes High School and the University of Kentucky.
