I give, where's the list?
How can a tack cloth be allowed in softball and strictly prohibited in baseball for pitchers?
According to NCAA rules, players cannot apply a "foreign substance or moisture to the ball or to the pitching hand or fingers, or do anything to deface the ball." Use of a foreign substance, typically something sticky that improves grip, can create higher spin rates that increase the ball's movement. A violation results in ejection.
