I have seen several umpires this season tell pitchers that neon/distracting colors on their mit will not be allowed per ASA this year. They sugessted tape or coloring over the "M" logo on a certain Mizuno glove. Makes sense, you do what you have to do.
Here is the big "but".....If this is new and a rule, why are teams allowed to where those same colors? I would think neon pants/shirts etc would be more distracting and give a pitcher an edge. Making it more difficult to pick up the ball off a pitchers hip. Yellow ball off neon yellow pant...and also some umpires dont even enforce this.
Interested to hear others thoughts and experiences with this so far this year.
