Cap or Glove Contact With Ball Penalty In Baseball
A cap or glove thrown at a batted ball counts only if it actually touches the ball. If contact occurs on a batted ball the batsman and any runners at that moment receive three bases. If the ball is thrown and makes contact, runners advance two bases. The act carries a stiff penalty and offers little to no advantage.
