MLB referee Pat Hoberg appeals disciplinary action following sports betting investigation

“Although MLB’s investigation found no evidence that games rigged by Mr. Hoberg were in any way compromised or manipulated, MLB determined that disciplinary action was warranted. Mr. Hoberg has chosen to appeal this decision, so we cannot comment further until the appeals process is complete,” the statement said.

MLB said the investigation into Hoberg began during this year’s spring training and that he was removed from the field while the investigation was ongoing.
