The match-fixing case against Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz escalates as their defense now claims a third person, an alleged gambling addict by the name of Enoc Pena , deceived the two players. However, the prosecution is not buying that, labeling the two defendants as “cheaters.” What Is the Case About? Clase, 28 , is alleged to have manipulated at least 18 pitches across 17 games between May 19, 2023 , and May 28, 2025 . Prosecutors say he did so by deliberately throwing balls or alerting bettors in advance that he would throw an off-speed pitch.
