What are the rules on baseball gloves in high school?
Am I allowed to use a black glove with white lacing as a pitcher in high school?
I am looking at getting a custom SSK and don’t want to spend three hundred dollars only to find out that I am not allowed to use it.
NFHS Rule 1-3-6…Gloves/mitts made of leather shall be worn by all fielders and not be altered to create an adhesive, sticky and/or tacky surface. The glove/mitt worn by the catcher may be any size. The glove/mitt worn by the pitcher that includes the colors white or gray shall be removed from the game upon discovery by either team and/or the umpire. The glove/mitt worn by all fielders except the catcher shall conform to the following maximum specifications:
a. Height (measured from the bottom edge or heel straight up across the center of the palm to a line even with the highest point of the glove/mitt): 14 inches.
b. Width of palm (measured from the bottom edge of the webbing farthest from the thumb in a horizontal line to the outside of the little finger edge of the glove/mitt); 8 inches.
c. Webbing (measured across the top end or along any line parallel to the top): 5 3/4 inches.
So the answer is no. If you can black out the lacing with shoe polish, or a permanent marker, you could use it.
