Going to the Mouth
Fed ball -
After the pitcher takes his warm-up pitches, and the ball is "sent down" and thrown around, the last player touching the ball before returning it to the pitcher (the shortstop) clearly spits on his hands, and without wiping them off, goes directly to the ball rubbing it between his wet hands. Then the ball is tossed to the pitcher's glove.
Do we have a violation here?
