May a fielder intentionally detach their glove to grab the ball with the hand their glove was on?

This is hypothetical, and I don't have a specific rule-set in mind.
Suppose a right-handed fielder (i.e., glove on left hand) is chasing a rolling ball, and will not _immediately_ catch up to it. They know that _when_ they catch up to it, they will need to quickly throw a fairly short distance to their right. Are they allowed to, during the chase, remove their glove so that they can make the throw with their bare left hand?

Yes. Seems inadvisable, but no rule prohibits it.
