Harry Hunter Wendelstedt III (born June 22, 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an umpire in Major League Baseball who has worked in the National League in 1998-1999 and throughout both major leagues since 2000. His father Harry Hunter Wendelstedt, Jr. was an NL umpire from 1966 to 1998. Hunter Wendelstedt goes by his middle name to avoid confusion with his father.
Hunter attended Loyola University of New Orleans for two years, where he was a member of Alpha Delta Gamma Fraternity.
Hunter Wendelstedt had only worked in one postseason series prior to his appointment to the 2006 American League Championship Series between the Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics, that being the 2003 National League Division Series.
As his career began just as his father was retiring, Hunter Wendelstedt wears the same number as his father did, 21.
