Major League Baseball announced new limits on pitch-level betting markets, capping wagers at $200 and excluding them from parlays, effective immediately across operators covering more than 98% of the U.S. market. The measures follow Sunday's federal indictment of Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz for allegedly rigging pitches to benefit gamblers. The league aims to mitigate integrity risks from these micro-bets on outcomes like balls, strikes, or pitch velocity.
