Pitcher Loses Hat During The Delivery
George Haskett from Richmond, IN asks:
The pitcher keeps losing his hat during his delivery. Is there a ruling about this?
There is no rule that covers a pitcher losing his hat on the delivery of a pitch. However, the umpire is allowed to request that the pitcher gets a new hat or make his hat smaller if it is adjustable if he feels that it is happening to often or the it is becoming a distraction.
