rosin bag
Pitcher's tacky helper
A rosin bag is a small cloth pouch filled with powdered rosin, used by athletes to improve grip by absorbing moisture from their hands.
Baseball pitchers keep one on the mound; weightlifters, gymnasts, and rock climbers use them similarly.
The rosin leaves a slightly tacky residue that prevents slipping: He dusted his hands with the rosin bag before his next pitch.
