NFHS Not Wiping off

I worked with a guy who saved himself a bunch of headaches during cold weather ball. He would announce just before the first pitch something like, "It's cold. You can go to your mouth any time you want but just wipe it off." Both pitchers and coaches would hear it and comply. I guess they now have this rule emphasis because of guys like him.

If you're going to go that route, the plate meeting is a great place to have that discussion.
