The head baseball coach at Atlantic Cape Community College in New Jersey has resigned after two of his players were caught with illegal communications devices inside their batting helmets.
Rodney Velardi’s resignation after 13 years on the job happened last week at the behest of the college.
Ethan Dodd, a freshman pitcher on Gloucester County, wondered if he’d been tipping pitches to his opponents in a game against Atlantic Cape the day before. But then, on April 22, Gloucester first baseman Felix Diaz told his coach that he could hear noises coming out of an Atlantic Cape player’s helmet.BFA Sports Media“I didn’t believe it,” Valli recalled. “I just thought, 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. We had to confirm that’s what it was.
Valli suspected, but did not have proof, that Velardi was using a livestream from a center field camera to ascertain the catcher’s signs on his iPad.After an investigation, Batchelor, the Atlantic Cape official, said that they couldn’t determine whether the team was using the devices during the game.
