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?

There are systems in place to prevent the batter from knowing the signs. The Astros used cameras, figured out the call signs of the pitchers and then used a system to relay the signs “live” to the batters. The batters knew what pitches were coming. Text book cheating.
