    I found nothing for baseball rules. This is what I found for softball rules. 


    "If dirt can and has been used as a natural drying agent to dry off the hands, we do not believe it is mandatory for the pitcher to wipe off their hand if they pick up dirt, throw it to the ground or rub it into their hands. We do not allow dirt to be applied directly to the ball just as we do not permit any other substance. Therefore applying dirt to the hand and not wiping the hand off is perfectly legal by ASA Official Rules of Softball." 



    You'll have to ask your coach- but as a general rule in baseball you need to wipe it off.
