How is resin an illegal or foreign substance?
Under the supervision and control of the umpire, powdered resin may be used to dry the hands.
It does not specify that this is solely for the pitcher...in fact that rule starts out by saying that a defensive player shall not place any foreign substance on the ball. It then goes on to say the part that I quoted above. In my opinion, the umpires in this case were reaching.
