Your opinions?

[SJA]

What are your opinions on this glove being used as a PITCHERS glove in LL SB?

It is the Optic Yellow Lacing I'm referring too.

I know what the LL Rule 1.15(a) says, and I know it is umpires judgement as to a “distraction†to the batter or PU, however the wording is very ambiguous and can be interpreted in more than one way. I just want some added input and views.

I'll allow it.... It's factory original. 

Equipment is very expensive and chance are that's the only glove little Susie has....

1.3.6 in FED is specific to White and Grey..... NOT Yellow.

I thought I would share the FED ruling in case anyone was interested. And now there's 5 posts that are not strictly on point. Larry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

illegal.

 

1.15 (a)

 

 . . . or if multi-colored, white, gray or optic yellow shall not be included in the colors.

illegal.

Agree

[SJA]

I agree also. There was quite an interpretation difference between umps before and after several LL SB games over the last several weeks. Some umps allowed it. I did not, which caused a few "discussions" from coaches and managers. This glove was "approved by WP" according to them. So for clarification I made a call and sent an email to WP. . . Response: Illegal. It was not used during the semi & final of All Star playoff. I was also advised by WP that it will be considered for a more defined "rule revision consideration for 2014".

It's hilarious that light gray is banned, when the color of a baseball is usually light brown by the third inning. Lot of light brown gloves out there.

 

As far at that green goes, it's up to each umpire if it's a distraction. And that's the problem.

 

Factory original has nothing to do with it, as there are plenty of gloves on the market that won't fly on the pitcher.

It's not a matter if the umpire feels it's a distraction, it is simply illegal.
