Can't find the ruling on this. Can a pitcher use a antiperspirant on forearm to prevent sweat coming in to contact with hand

I don't have an answer....but for some reason, it made me think of this.

I do not know why not.
Only rule I know of outside hand was uniform could not be same color as ball and I think they even have backed off that.

Apparently, it's not working under the armpits.......I'm guessing it's an illegal substance. Wear long sleeves/sleeve.
I am not comfortable with stance because do not have access to rule book, what Rule? I think she is fine.

One of my Favorites!
The applicable rules for USA Softball (formerly ASA) are 6A-6-A and B
To paraphrase: (A) a defensive player shall not use any foreign substance on the ball, pitching hand, or fingers. Powder resin or other approved drying agents are allowed.
(B) A pitcher shall not wear any item on the pitching hand, wrist, elbows, forearm, or thighs that in the judgement of the umpire, is distracting to the batter.
Since the antiperspirant is on the forearm, the only issue I could see if it dries with a white color, that could be considered distracting.
