Sorta reminds me of a state tournament I was once working where PITA coach complained that the pitcher was wearing mirrored sunglasses and the umpire wouldn't tell her to remove them.
I asked him why he thought that was a problem. He told me it was distracting his batters and making it difficult to hit off her.
My response was, maybe they would hit better if they were looking for the ball down by the hip and not the pitcher's face.
Certainly wasn't what he wanted to hear, but there wasn't anymore complaints from him or his team the rest of the tournament.
