While quoting ISF rules, I went ahead and copied the foreign substance rule. Just like everyone OTHER than NCAA (well ASA and NFHS), it only says to wipe after going to the mouth.
Sec. 5. FOREIGN SUBSTANCE.
a. No member of the defensive team shall, at any time during the game, be permitted to use any foreign substance on the ball. A pitcher who licks his fingers must wipe off his fingers before making contact with the ball.
NOTE: If any defensive team member continues to place a foreign substance on the ball, the pitcher shall be ejected from the game.
b. Applying resin to the ball, or into the glove and then placing the ball in the glove, is an illegal act. Resin must be kept on the ground behind the pitcher’s plate when not in use.
c. Under the supervision and control of the umpire, powdered resin may be used to dry the hands.
