Question
Sayhey
varsity pitcher can't keep his cap on while pitching. After incident #12 I spoke to my plate umpire between innings about the poorly fitted cap and its frequent flier miles. He wanted no part of it. I left it alone. About the 20th time it happened I walked to the mound and told the pitcher he needed to find a way to keep his cap on. His coach wasn't happy and argued that there is no rule stating that the flying cap is illegal. I told the coach it was distracting to the batter and if it didn't stop his pitcher wouldn't becallowed to continue to pitch. I got zero support from my plate umpire.
If you can't have white sleeves or a white glove because it is distracting how can you be allowed to have your cap fly off your head every 4th pitch. Jaska/ Roder says the cap must be worn properly.

You've posted this under Ask The Ump yet you ask no questions. When another umpire offers you some pretty sound advice you inform him that he's using "childish language" and throw out a rule reference

but you never cited it in your OP you never said this in the OP your OP doesn't have a question mark in it In closing @Sayhey; YOUR past behavior on this site is why you don't like some of

How can a cap coming off the pitcher's head not be distracting. My plate umpire after the game said it was distracting to him trying to call balls and strikes. 2015 Fed. Casebook-10.2.3. © f1's cap fr
