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

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.
