Part 2/7:
Prosecutors claim that this scheme netted nearly half a million dollars. In one detailed example, during a game against the Boston Red Sox in June 2023, Clauss purportedly arranged to throw a slow pitch under 95 miles per hour, which was then tipped off to betters. An image included in the indictment shows the ball hitting the dirt, indicating a deliberate type of pitch intended to be predictable for betting purposes. As a result, those involved reportedly won around $58,000 from this single wager.
