  • MLB upholds firing of ump Pat Hoberg for gambling violations


    Following a lengthy appeals process, Major League Baseball on Monday upheld its firing of umpire Pat Hoberg for “sharing” sports betting accounts with a professional poker player and friend who bet on baseball, though there is no direct evidence Hoberg bet on baseball games himself or manipulated them while working.

    Hoburg, in a statement via the Major League Baseball Umpires Association (MLBUA), said he made mistakes but denies betting on baseball games.

    “I take full responsibility for the errors in judgment that are outlined in today’s statement [by MLB]” Hoberg said. “Those errors will always be a source of shame and embarrassment to me.

    “Major League Baseball umpires are held to a high standard of personal conduct, and my own conduct fell short of that standard. That said, to be clear, I have never and would never bet on baseball in any way, shape, or form. I have never provided, and would never provide, information to anyone for the purpose of betting on baseball. Upholding the integrity of the game has always been of the utmost importance to me.”

    Hoburg apologized to Major League Baseball and said he vowed “to learn from [mistakes] and to be a better version of myself moving forward.”

    MLB began its investigation into Hoberg in February 2024, after the long-time umpire opened an account with a licensed sports betting operator in his own name. The operator detected that Hoberg’s personal electronic device associated with the new account was also associated with the legal sports betting account of an individual who had bet on baseball.

    Additionally, Hoberg was also found to have intentionally deleted messages central to MLB’s investigation into his conduct.

    Hoberg was subsequently removed from spring training and made inactive for the 2024 season pending completion of the investigation.

    On May 24, 2024, MLB senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill determined Hoberg’s “conduct and extremely poor judgment” created a situation in which he “could not be trusted” to maintain the integrity of the game on the field. He was fired on May 31, but he appealed the process, leading to Monday’s upholding of his termination.

    “The strict enforcement of Major League Baseball’s rules governing sports betting conduct is a critical component of upholding our most important priority: protecting the integrity of our games for the fans,” commissioner Rob Manfred said in the league’s release Monday.

    “An extensive investigation revealed no evidence that Mr. Hoberg placed bets on baseball directly or that he or anyone else manipulated games in any way. However, his extremely poor judgment in sharing betting accounts with a professional poker player he had reason to believe bet on baseball and who did, in fact, bet on baseball from the shared accounts, combined with his deletion of messages, creates at minimum the appearance of impropriety that warrants imposing the most severe discipline.

    “Therefore, there is just cause to uphold Mr. Hoberg’s termination for failing to conform to high standards of personal conduct and to maintain the integrity of the game of baseball.”

    Consistent with MLB rules for players, Hoberg can apply for reinstatement, but no earlier than the start of spring training in 2026.

    Hoberg, 38, is best known for his perfect performance in Game 2 of the 2022 World Series, when he was the plate umpire and called all 129 balls and strikes correctly. He is widely regarded as the best ball-strike umpire in MLB.

    Hoberg first umpired major league games in 2014 and became a full-time umpire in 2017. He umpired postseason games every year from 2018 to 2022 and was assigned to pool games in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

    “We thank Commissioner Manfred for his careful consideration of Pat Hoberg’s appeal,” the MLBUA said in its own statement. “As Major League Baseball umpires, we have devoted our professional lives to upholding the rules and integrity of the game. If our union believed that an umpire bet on baseball, we would never defend him. But as today’s statement from the league makes clear, the neutral factfinder did not find that Pat placed bets on baseball. Yet we respect Pat’s unequivocal acceptance of responsibility for the mistakes that led to his termination.”



    The MLB has announced that they are upholding the firing of umpire Pat Hoberg for gambling violations. Hoberg was dismissed from his position after an investigation revealed that he had been placing bets on baseball games, violating the league’s strict anti-gambling policies.

    The decision to uphold Hoberg’s firing sends a clear message that the MLB has zero tolerance for any form of gambling by its officials. Umpires are expected to uphold the integrity of the game and any actions that compromise that integrity will not be tolerated.

    Hoberg’s dismissal serves as a warning to other umpires and officials in the league that the consequences of engaging in illegal gambling activities will be severe. The MLB is committed to maintaining the fairness and integrity of the game, and will not hesitate to take action against those who threaten that integrity.

    It is a disappointing and unfortunate situation, but the MLB is committed to upholding the highest standards of honesty and integrity in the sport. Let this be a lesson to all that the consequences of breaking the rules will be swift and severe.
