Is having a wristband on your glove legal when pitching? Pic included

[Matt-MI]

My daughter's glove has one and it even has the manufacturer logo embroidered on it. In all her years as a pitcher no one has ever complained. I wouldn't go looking for trouble.

I was all set to type "illegal", then I looked at the picture.

legal.

I don't see any problem with it but I'm sure some DB coach will start complaining if his team is down a few runs.

NFHS 2-1-Penalty. the UMPIRE has sole authority to judge whether or not an item is distracting and shall have that item removed.

Someone complaining does not constitute having it removed.

I agree, there is nothing there to make this illegal

I agree this would not be illegal in my game. But for the OP, it is umpire judgement on whether this is distracting and therefore illegal. So expect that in some games the umpire will instruct it to be removed.

Your right, but that decision should still be in accordance with the rules and not
how you feel that day. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

If a coach is going to bitch about something being distracting, it had better be upon first appearance. If it's not, then it obviously wasn't distracting enough to notice.
