Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger reported to spring training on Wednesday and addressed the serious domestic and child abuse allegations against him.

Clevinger is under a Major League Baseball investigation and said he was confident he would be exonerated.

"I trust the process from MLB, I really do," he said. "I think there’s a reason I’m sitting in front of you today. I’m just asking everyone to wait before they rush to judgment. Wait until the actual facts are out there, wait until there’s actual evidence, and then make your decision on who you think I am."

The allegations surfaced on Jan. 24 when a woman named Olivia Finestead posted on her Instagram alleging that she was the mother of Clevinger’s child and claimed he fathered two other children who were not hers. She posted a photo of marks on her body with accompanying words that alleged the injuries were "from when he threw an iPad at me pregnant" and "finally left when he strangled me."

"Mike Clevinger you really deserve hell I’ve kept quiet now for almost a year and you continue to covertly abuse your infant," she said, adding the pitcher "threw chew spit on our baby."
