Toronto Blue Jays reliever Seranthony Dominguez was tipping his pitches in game 2 of ALDS against the New York Yankees.
The Yankees are rather skilled when it comes to picking up on pitchers' tells, but relaying that information in a subtle manner is a different story, as the team has been caught in the perfectly legal act on multiple occasions.
SNY reporter Andy Martino was the first to point out that the Yankees were picking up on Dominguez's pitches, his splitter in particular.
Looked to me like Yankees had Dominguez tipping his splitter last night fwiw
Upon further video investigation by Gary Phillips it appears that Aaron Judge can be seen relaying signs to the batter Ben Rice indicating what pitch was coming.
In the video below Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge can been seen tapping his helmet on 3 straight splitters from Seranthony Dominguez during Ben Rice's at-bat yesterday, which ended in a walk.
This time is less obvious than the flapping motions the Yankees did the last time against Max Scherzer.
Video would suggest Andy is correct, as Aaron Judge can been seen tapping his helmet on 3 straight splitters from Seranthony Dominguez during Ben Rice's at-bat yesterday, which ended in a walk.
This is less obvious than the flapping motions the Yankees did the last time against Max Scherzer.
Again, tipping pitches through natural means is legal, something the Yanks are good at, and something the #BlueJays know the Yanks are good at.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider responds to Dominguez tipping his pitches to the Yankees
Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling asked Blue Jays Manager John Schneider if he was aware of Dominguez tipping his pitches to the Yankees, to which he replied "yeah were working on it."
Blue Jays manager John Schneider on Seranthony Dominguez potentially tipping pitches: "Yeah, looking at it. You've got to do a good job of being clean, being tight. It's part of the game. We'll look at it and make any adjustments we need to make and try to keep them off second."
Tapping the top of the helmet, flapping, waving, circling, raising and extending arms has been common practice for the Yankees when tipping pitches this season.
If you know what's coming and you still can't win, it's time to re-evaluate your game.
