Why/How is ‘sign stealing’ cheating in MLB?

829 views

I keep hearing about the Astros and how they were cheating by stealing the signs/hand gestures from other teams. What I don’t get is how it’s cheating. If the catcher throws down a 1 and I know that means fastball, how would I be in the wrong if I rely that info to the batter?

If you are on second base as a runner and relay that. That’s legal. If you use a camera placed in the stadium and then relay that it’s not legal.
