Decolati and De Leon Suspended, Out 2 Games
Thursday, April 13th , 2023
The league commissioner announced that two players had been suspended for inappropriate conduct. He told BNN, "What I'm trying to do with these penalties is say, we can't stop you from doing these things, but if you do them, you have to understand you will pay the consequences."
Baseball can be an intense game and on-field confrontations happen. However, the league disciplinary policy is to punish, sometimes severely, those who decide to settle things with their fists.
When Niko Decolati of the Gwinnett Stripers and Jose De Leon of the Norfolk Tides got into a scuffle during a game, both players knew that a suspension would be forthcoming.
Sure enough, today it was announced that both players will each receive a 2-game suspension for their actions in a recent game at Coolray Field.
Decolati is currently batting .323 with 5 home runs and 7 RBIs.
