I feel like I've seen odd movement in damp games. That makes me think that if the pitchers knew how to use it, they could. I doubt most do know how to do that. I think many male FP pitchers can, but since they are much more creative than that.. dont need it.

I dont know, I'm on the fence on the issue. Its not a big deal. In 97% of the JO tournaments I work, enforcing this involves sending the catcher out to tell her to wipe her fingers. The other 3% of the time I guess I deal with it, but its usually a non issue. In mens FP for the normal tournaments I get myself in enough trouble without opening this can of worms. Add it to the list of illegal stuff they do in men's FP.
