Hoberg, who has been a full-time MLB umpire since 2017, is appealing the discipline.
in 30 years, a well-regarded umpire is facing disciplinary action for undisclosed violations of MLB’s gambling policy. That umpire, Pat Hoberg, is appealing the discipline, the extent of which MLB says it cannot yet share.
“Mr. Hoberg was removed from the field during the pendency of that investigation. While MLB’s investigation did not find any evidence that games worked by Mr. Hoberg were compromised or manipulated in any way, MLB determined that discipline was warranted. Mr. Hoberg has chosen to appeal that determination. Therefore, we cannot comment further until the appeal process is concluded.
But officials represented an as-yet unsullied group. Not since NBA referee Tim Donaghy was fired in 2007 for allegedly manipulating point spreads has an official in the major North American sports come under such scrutiny.
