In addition, MLB said umpires will be urged to check pitchers when they notice "the baseball has an unusually sticky feel to it, or when the umpire observes a pitcher going to his glove, hat, belt, or any other part of his uniform or body to retrieve or apply what may be a foreign substance."MLB investigated complaints from players, collected data, and tested balls used by all 30 clubs in the first two months of the season.
Game umpires will also examine catchers and positional players if they "observe conduct consistent with the use of a foreign substance by the pitcher." If players refuse umpire checks, they will be ejected from games and suspended.
