Yes, they are different, but the terms are used interchangeably to mean rosin in the rule books. That paragon of correct English usage (that would be the ASA rule book, in case you didn't recognize it from that description) calls it resin. So, I guess it is legal to put pine tar on the pitcher's hands in ASA?  |
Powdered pine tar might be legal, if under the control and supervision of the umpire. If you can find powdered pine tar, and distribute it in a controllable manner, then you could legally use it.
On the other hand, it would likely, if powdered, no longer have the properties that make it illegal in its natural form. I don't know; but let's not let this get further afield than the actual rule.
Oh yeah; why is this the ASA paragon of correct English usage?? The same word with the same spelling exists in the NFHS and NCAA rule books.
