Too much White?

[Richvee]

I think if a pitcher walked to the mound with one of these I'd start laughing and say "You got to be kidding me?" Jeez, this might be distracting if a middle infielder is wearing one!

Is that lighter than Pantone #14?

Do you wait till the other teams complain or do you say something?

I don't think he makes it to the mound with that glove.....Unless it takes me longer than that to stop laughing and compose myself before I tell him he's got to be kidding.

Open web.  No chance on a mound.  Although sometime I would like to see data if all that white/gray BS actually matters other than mind games.

Guys, it's not a pitcher's glove. It's designed for an infielder (note the I-web). Pitching gloves are fitted with a basket web, split-web, or a mod-trap web and are usually 12" (this looks to be 11.5").

I doubt any serious pitcher would bring this to the mound with him. Most know the rules about white leather.

Used to be that a pitcher's gloves could contain no white at all (except for portions of the manufacturer's label). A while back they amended the rule to allow white lacing. But the glove itself can't be white or light gray.

The rules I can find don't support that.  Where is this written?
