Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, face federal charges for allegedly throwing pitches outside the strike zone to aid bettors. The scheme, starting in May 2023, resulted in at least $400,000 in wins for bettors. Clase, a top closer, and Ortiz, who joined in 2025, could face up to 65 years in prison if convicted. The team is cooperating with investigations.
