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

838 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?

It’s not. What was wrong was the fact that they repositioned the outfield camera, then ran a feed that didn’t have a time delay.
