Some pitching restrictions with white exposed apply. Read the rule.

The answer to your question is no.
However, if FED, one compression sleeve on the pitching arm that is not white or gray is allowed.

sleeves

So, by federation rules, a pitcher can have one long sleeve and no sleeve on the other arm if it is a compression sleeve. I disagree and believe the first response is the correct one unless proven wrong by rule.

Your original question said nothing about compression sleeves!

I don't have the book with me right now but as originally stated there are exceptions and clarifications and I don't know if umpjim is right or wrong right now, but I encourage you to read the rule.

No - the uniform and undershirt sleeves have to be approxamately the same length.

A compression sleeve (fashion statement) isn't part of the uniform and is governed separately.

A compression sleeve separate from the uniform is legal in FED.

In NCAA, the compression sleeve must be covered with an undershirt.

You disagree based on what rule?

Does it have to be the pitching arm? I would think not.

Not only pitchers wear them.
