Yes that is the rule, Pitchers cannot have anything white or reflective on their arms or hands. The think it makes it harder for the batter to pick up the ball quickly. That is why most pictures DONT have their finger out their glove, wear a batters glove on their glove hand, dont wear white sleeves, etc......
Yet, it's okay to wear a hat with a big white front panel, right up by your release point. What's with those ugly lids, anyway? Sunday specials?
if anyone recalls ben mcdonald had a string hanging from his glove about 2 feet long. that was pretty distracting but no, some umps enforce the rule much moreso than others. usually dependent on the opposing manager. necklaces are often removed or tucked in their jersey during games for this reason. if you watch MLB you will notice almost all players wear these retarded titanium necklaces. supposed to give them energy and keep the blood flowing by controlling the bioelectrical current in the body. called phiten necklaces i believe. yeah i know, this is a better scam than bottled water. some players wear like 5 at a time too.
Pitching coach must see something good if he's going to press CPM to put Chad Jones into that situation. Blake Dean was a pitcher but is now a hitter, maybe Chad Jones is a hitter who will become a good pitcher for us!
