I think the difference is the pitcher can not go get the ball out of the glove(bringing the hands together) once they have stepped onto the pitching plate. But she can throw the ball into the glove, and drop the ball from the glove and catch it in the bare hand. WHY they would want to do this is beyond me but it's legal as long as they don't bring the hands together doing it, and hold the ball in glove or hand while taking or simulating taking the sign.
