New York Yankees infielder Jose Caballero is facing backlash for his behavior at the plate, particularly his attempts to delay engaging with pitchers to avoid pitch-clock violations. This led to a bench-clearing incident during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and further trouble with home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott, resulting in a violation for Caballero and the ejection of Yankees hitting coach James Rowson. Insider Jon Heyman noted that Caballero’s antics are becoming a nuisance not only to opposing pitchers but also within the league. It appears that MLB has reached a tipping point regarding his conduct.
