Justin Verlander was called out by an unknowing reporter for using his wife Kate Upton's Zoom account during a meeting with reporters on Monday, January 13.

Justin Verlander found himself in the hot seat after using his wife Kate Upton's Zoom account for a recent press conference. During a virtual press event on Monday, January 13, an NBC Sports reporter named Taylor Wirth had a hot mic moment that involved Verlander,

The right-hander, who signed with the Giants in free agency, and president of baseball operations Buster Posey were speaking with reporters via Zoom when one media member forgot to mute his mic and began commenting on the fact that Verlander appeared to be using the Zoom account of his wife, Kate Upton.

As the Giants PR staff was speaking during the Zoom meeting, an unmuted reporter could be heard pointing out the name on the three-time Cy Young Award winner’s Zoom account. Verlander was using the account that belonged to his wife and model, Kate Upton. So, his name was displayed as, well, Kate Upton.
