Example; NCAA allows pitchers to wear sunglasses. One pitcher has glasses that reflect the sunlight into the batter's (and PU's) eyes. My ruling; she cannot wear those glasses now. Fine to wear when they do not distract (at night, overcast, or when sun is behind her); but not now.

IMO, too many people want to refer to too many things as distracting. Why would a pitcher be the only one excluded to wearing reflective sunglasses? What if it was an infielder?

If tape on the pitching hand is distracting to the batter or umpire, they've got bigger problems than the tape.
