First Baseman’s Mitt

First Baseman’s Mitt

Rule 3.05:

The first baseman is not permitted to use a first baseman’s mitt if, in the umpire’s judgment, another fielder is positioned at first base. If the umpire determines on his own or after being prompted by the opposing manager that the first baseman is not positioned at first base, the umpire should instruct the fielder to change from the first baseman’s mitt to a fielder’s glove
