Answer
Hello Ken
I have an older rule book but basically under rule 6 section 5 it states the pitcher shall not wear tape on the fingers, a batting glove (on the pitching hand), a sweatband, bracelet, or similar type item on the wrist or forearm if the pitching arm.
With that said I have seen pitchers wear a dark flexible elbow brace without penalty.
