I like how the coach walked onto the field with the iPad he wasn't supposed to have IN HIS HAND and they still couldn't figure it out, amazing.

Baseball has changed so much... Back in my day the cheaters just banged on a trash can.

I get that teams shouldn't cheat, but the high stakes of New Jersey Community College Baseball will make people do crazy things.

The crowd would have been absolutely shocked, if anyone was there.

"Uhhhh boss? What do we do if a team is cheating so blatantly that the rule book doesn't cover it?" "Idk just keep playing I guess, it's community college"

Wait. Two players are caught with communication devices in their helmet and their coach, who wasn't supposed to have electronic devices in the dugout, walks out of the dugout with an iPad in his hand and no one could figure out what was going on? Unbelievable.

It’s one thing to cheat as an adult but when a coach is spearheading the scheme for college kids, sets an awful example.

how did nobody get ejected or penalized lol

Umpires bottled it. Should have ejected them and the coach (for the audacity to address them with the forbidden ipad in hand!).

The coach likely had his own camera set up somewhere.

Cheating team should’ve forfeited

The amount of cheating in baseball at any level is insane. I've never understood how you can get satisfaction from winning when you KNOW that you cheated to win.

"I heard the banging of a trashcan coming from that kid's head"

That was the dustiest batters box I've ever seen.

“I heard voices coming from the helmets” lmaoooo

Its wild to me that it seems there was no punishment doled out during the game. Like to me, if you're caught directly cheating in a fashion like that, you should just forfeit the game. Your team cheated and did so knowingly and willingly. Hell, even a single game forfeit is probably lenient. They should probably forfeit every game in the series. The coach resigning is one thing, but why are those 2 players allowed to continue playing? Kick them out of the league.

This is so surreal, this is my county's community college

Only two *helmets* had them. They might be reusing those two helmets throughout the batting order.

As an outsider, it seems to me one of baseballs unwritten rules that the culture accepts is "it ain't cheating if you don't get caught".

I live 5 minutes from that field. The stadium is called the Sand Castle as it's in Atlantic City. Our area had been asking for a minor league team for decades and then in the 90's they gave us one of those independant league teams and built the Sand Castle. We didn't want an independent league team so the one we got didn't last long as people just weren't going to watch them and they left. Not that anyone cared for that little history lesson but there it is :)

they ended the live stream that was delayed meanwhile the guy with binoculars feeding the coach info probably laughing right now lol

It's nice to see the sand castle is still being used for baseball. I used to watch the AC Surf play there. They were fun games.

*"Only a catcher can..."* Wait.... wut? They can DO that??😂

If they were stealing the catcher's signs, who's to say they were using an official feed of the game? Cameras can be hidden just about anywhere.

I used to decipher signals from base coaches. My coach wouldn’t even let me tell my teammates.

I like how everyone missed the coach just holding an ipad when he went to speak with the umps

3:13 the coach fumbling with his pockets to prove he doesn’t have any communication devices WHILE HOLDING AN iPAD

“Whose hearing voices?” “Ray is out in the field.” “No I’m not! Noises. Yeah, that damn tractor.”

Player: “I hear voices coming out of the helmet” Umpires: “they are just for practice” …what?

Its literally community college baseball why is anyone cheating

Oooh been waiting for this one!

What a great coach for these young guys, teaching them that cheating is perfectly ok, then lie about it when busted!!

I can’t believe nobody was ejected

I went to a South Jersey community college. My school doesn't have a team, but apparently did when I was there, which I never knew despite being on campus regularly for 2 years. My high school played higher stakes games than this, and with that in mind I eagerly await the inevitable 10 U rec league sign stealing scandal breakdown.

Ohhhhhhh, I was waiting for your take on this!!!!

The umpire is a candidate for spot the braincell competition.

Thats what happens when you give an MLB team a slap on the wrist for cheating to a WS win

Even with a 45 second delay you can still match up the pitches to the signals, figure out what signal goes to what pitch. Which is half of what you need to effectively cheat.

It sounds like they weren't using the broadcast camera, but they were definitely using something else. Maybe a spotter in the outfield bleachers. At any rate hearing voices emanating from the runner's helmet, then finding the headset, should have been all they need to eject everyone involved.

"Yeah, I'm looking for a couple of earpieces, like the FBI would use but for baseball, and practice only. Do you have something like that???"

everyone turning into Richard Nixon

Manfred has made clear that cheating is OK as long as yu don't get caught, they're just following the lead.

My favorite is still the 1987 Joe Niekro emery board incident on the mound.

Automatic disqualification and permanent ban from all sports. Cheaters are soulless cowards

i think we’ve all been waiting for jomboy to breakdown this one… i know i’ve been waiting and it didn’t disappoint

The spy camera is located in one of the water buckets on top of the dugout. Or most likely, as it’s New Jersey, one of the IT staff of BFA was paid off to send live transmissions.

Coach is standing on the field talking to the ump with the iPad in his hand lol

Tolerance, the last gasp of a dying society!

How did the manager and guys with devices not get thrown out immediately? 😂

Now that sports betting on college sports is legal, you're going to have all sorts of cheating going on.

I used to work at a store that filmed a reality show the crew had an app, called TeraView from a company called TeraDek that let anyone with an iPad/iPhone to live view all the cameras that were filming, wirelessly. That way an assistant director or the lighting guy could see exactly what the camera was seeing and so could other crew, like the guy who made sure everything that appeared on camera was OK permission clearance wise. The live feeds from those cameras has to go to a production office somewhere who switches the camera feeds which is then broadcast and I would almost guarantee it's done wireles so it could be very easy to have someone chat up a BFA Sports worker and find out about their systems or shoulder surf while they are setting up to see what setup they are using. It's how I figured out the app the crew was using at my place and how to connect it.

That's quite the crowd they had there as well

They don’t even need the cameras to be cheating. Just the communication from the earpiece is enough. They could use a number of diff people to communicate the pitches.

Unfortunately baseball and cheating go hand-in-hand

Not even a baseball fan and i love these breakdowns

They said it was just for practice....that they were using in a live game. My god. What garbage umping.

Yeah, using the live stream, probably not happening. But could another camera have been stash around the field somewhere? Also, I feel like we need a more extensive breakdown here. Jomboy is really quick to say it was just those two players but.... Those helmets cycle through everyone right? And is it possible the batter that was on deck who showed what he had, intentionally grabbed a 'clean' helmet in that instance? He had plenty of time to react to what was going on after all.

Oh yeah, Coach says " I have no microphone on me to talk to these players". meanwhile he types into the Ipad what he wants the players to do and an AI voice is received by the baserunners.

I'm a senior referee in another sport which has prohibitions on electronic communication. If I were to find such a device, the athlete is out of there. Most likely their coach will be joining them unless its clear someone else is the culprit, and it is entirely possible the entire team is gone. And the next thing is the league will be contacted for further disciplinary action.

“Cheating is not cheating, unless you get caught. If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.” Sincerely, Houston Astros.

Is it possible they were listening in on the communication to the catcher? I don't know anything about baseball comms, but Jomboy said catchers can wear earpieces.

The live steam can still be compromised. There are work arounds. Even though there is a delay, if the coach was given access to the raw feed, he would have live up to the second video available to him, from every camera.

Absolutely amazing that nobody got ejected for this and no punishment was given from the league. We can see that New Jersey's community college league takes integrity very seriously, as is typical New Jersey tradition.

I love when i see very outrageous news article titles and i just say to myself “eh, ill wait for the Jomboy breakdown” and the next day its a video.

So, this is where all the old Radio Shack employees went to? The New Jersey community college coaching circuit.

4:24 let me run to my car and grab my cell phone and call people 😂 😂 😂

Thanks for the breakdown Jomboy

This is almost as genius as when Michael Pineda went out on the mound with a giant blob of pine tar on his neck, and started casually applying it to his fingers before every pitch. Like he was the Invisible Man or something.

How can a player agree to be involved in this? They have ZERO integrity.

There was probably a fake spectator in the stands watching with binoculars and communicating straight to the players helmets on what the calls were

Thanks Jomboy!! More news we didn't know we needed....but we did✌

Everyone’s getting ejected now 💀

I was actually waiting for this one lol

I pitched high school an American Legion baseball in the mid 80’s. My coach would’ve given me the Apache woo woo woo sign, hand over the mouth war chant and that meant I DRILL every batter in the head until I’m told to stop. I preferred the rib armpit area because they can’t escape the heat.

"That's the craziness that happens in community college baseball." The Houston Astros have entered the chat.

Pretty crazy they managed to catch the only two players with the devices. I know they heard noises and that is why they insisted on the check, but how lucky do they have to be that only those 2 players on the field at that time had the equipment in their helmets. Just think if they would have checked the batter first and found nothing. Maybe there were other players who had it, but they managed to remove it before being checked in the dugout.

As I recall, players caught with a corked bat claim the same thing, that the corked bat was used just for practice.

And all these fools are wanting to get rid of umpires! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The fact that the were still tied with the cheating shows how goof the other team is

🛑🛑 The series should have been forfeited by the cheating team. 💯👍

Wow amazing that the coach was able to figure it out

Should have been two outs, one for each runner, both runners and coach ejected all equipment and the iPad confiscated and a fine against the college.

Probably accidentally got sent helmets that were meant for the Astros

Something about cheating in college bothers me so much more than in the pros

This is 100% going on in the MLB

That umpire is like “Why TF y’all gotta do this today when I’m working” 🤦🏾‍♂️

The Astros are trying to hire that coach

…waiting for Judge & German shenanigans

dude probably just landed a job at some middle school as new coach thinkin "okay, no one knows who I am, we're good" then Jomboy publishes a video about it.

Houston Astros fans entering the chat....

The players should have reported it to the school. They need to be suspended as well.

They learned it from watching the Atlanta Braves, and I’m not even saying that ironically😢

"Welcome to McDonald's. Would you like to try our new McCrow sandwich?"

How long until the Astros do this?

I like to think the opposing team's players were schizophrenic and just got lucky

Forfeit any wins of their wins before being caught, and the coach should’ve been fired immediately, not given the opportunity to resign🎉….This is ridiculous. Winning IS NOT everything….This guy is literally teaching kids it’s totally okay to cheat to win and gain an edge.

Can't exactly get away with a, "Woopsies, how'd that get in there?"

Future all-stars for the Astros

The Astros and their fans are watching this with a proud smile...they've inspired others with their cheating ways

That solar-panel on his belly is a dead giveaway. Or is it a battery-pack ?
