Derek Bender was cut from his Single-A affiliate, the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels , in the Florida State League when he was caught tipping pitches to an opposing team.

The incident occurred during a game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers last week that Fort Myers lost, eliminating the team from playoff contention.

Bender reportedly told several batters during the second game of a doubleheader on Sept. 6 the exact pitches that starter Ross Dunn was going to throw.
