A blue batting helmet and wooden baseball bat lie on the grassy turf prior to a game.A college baseball coach has resigned after umpires found illegal communication devices in two his players' helmets, according toRodney Velardi was in his 13th season of coaching Atlantic Cape Community College when an opposing coach, Rob Valli of Rowan College Gloucester County, became suspicious of his team's plate discipline.
Later, Rowan College first baseman Felix Diaz told Valli he could hear a voice coming out of the other players' helmets during the first inning."I didn't believe it," Valli said."I just though, nah. I didn't believe it. I didn't not believe him, but for that sophisticated of cheating, I just didn't think they would do it. I didn't think they would do it. For me, I wasn't going to go right up there in the first inning.
Play was reportedly stopped and the earpieces were removed from the helmets, but no players or coaches were ejected. Valli also insisted on a camera in center field be removed: The system sounds not unlike the Houston Astros rode to infamy, except instead of using a trash can to transmit rudimentary noises, the Atlantic Cape team would have been transmitting pitch signals directly to batters while watching a center-field feed.
