The Los Angeles Dodgers are a great offensive team. They lead the National League in batting average and slugging percentage, and lead the majors in on-base percentage. The New York Mets have taken notice and think they have an explanation.
Bench coach Jim Riggleman told Kevin Kernan of the New York Post that he believes the Dodgers are stealing signs. He does not believe they’re doing anything illegal, such as using video equipment, but rather that they study tendencies and arm angles more effectively than most teams.
“I think they have a system that helps them get some signs and stuff,” Riggleman said.
