Texas A&M baseball coach suspects Georgia pitcher of cheating after suspicious videos surface from loss

Texas A&M head coach Jim Schlossnagle believes that a Georgia pitcher was cheating in the bullpen during their game last weekend.

Schlossnagle called out Georgia pitcher Christian Mracna in a text to The Associated Press on Tuesday, saying that he believes Mracna was putting a foreign substance on the ball in violation of the rules.

Mracna was seen on video appearing to work on his glove while crouched in the corner of the bullpen during the Bulldogs’ 5-4 win over the top-ranked Aggies on Saturday in College Station. Mracna was also seen reaching for something behind a post, and then he was seen in another video touching the thumb area of his glove with his right fingers between pitches while he was on the mound.
