Bruce Rondon involved in winter league brawl

Posted

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Bruce Rondon is making headlines after he was involved in a bench-clearing brawl during a winter league game in Venezuela.

In a video, Rondon is seen attempting to pickoff Pittsburg Pirates prospect Jose Osuna. It's not clear what happened, but Osuna starts yelling at Rondon. That's when Rondon starts walking toward Osuna and ends up throwing a couple punches.

Benches cleared and Rondon and Osuna were both ejected.

This isn't the first time Rondon has made headlines. Before the end of the 2015 season, Tigers Manager Brad Ausmus sent Rondon home early due to his "effort level."

You can see video of the brawl below.
