Pitcher takes the pitching plate with ball in non-glove hand
Gloved hand is held against the sternum of the pitcher
She takes the non-gloved hand with the ball and places it on top of the glove
She momentarily stays like this
Then the non-gloved hand is removed from the ball and wiped on the jersey top
After wiping the hand it is placed back on the ball, which is still on top of the glove
Sometimes she may do the same routine once or twice more
Finally the non-gloved hand grips the ball and the arm is swung away from the gloved hand
Hands are brought together one last time, this time ball is placed in glove and removed, just like a normal pitchers routine when bringing the hands together
Pitch is delivered to batter
Every pitch is the same routine, just the number of times the hand is wiped on the uniform may change
