Jay Jackson, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, recently made headlines when he discussed an alleged pitch tipping incident involving New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge. According to Jackson, Judge was tipping pitches during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays in 2017. Jackson claims that he noticed Judge was giving away the pitch type before it was thrown, which gave the Blue Jays an advantage.
Jackson’s allegations have been met with skepticism from some fans and analysts. Judge has denied the accusations, saying that he has never tipped pitches in his career. He also noted that he has never been accused of such behavior before.
The Yankees have also come out in support of Judge, saying that they have no reason to believe that he was tipping pitches. They also noted that they have never seen any evidence of such behavior from Judge in the past.
Despite the skepticism, Jackson stands by his claims and believes that Judge was tipping pitches. He noted that it was obvious to him that Judge was giving away the pitch type before it was thrown. He also said that it was not something that he had seen before in his career.
The incident has sparked a debate among fans and analysts about whether or not pitch tipping is a real issue in Major League Baseball. Some argue that it is a real problem and can give teams an unfair advantage. Others argue that it is not a real issue and that it is impossible to tell if a player is tipping pitches or not.
Regardless of whether or not pitch tipping is a real issue, Jackson’s allegations have brought the topic to the forefront of the conversation. It will be interesting to see if any further evidence comes to light in the future. Until then, fans and analysts will continue to debate the issue and speculate about what really happened during the 2017 game between the Yankees and Blue Jays.
