Softball: Shortstop was wearing a batter's glove on his throwing hand while playing his position on the field. Is it legal to do so? Can't find the answer in a rule nor casebook.

Yes, a defensive player in softball or baseball can wear a batter’s glove while playing defense. There are no specific rules prohibiting this, and some players choose to wear batting gloves for better grip and protection against blisters or abrasions. By that logic, it counts as "defensive protective equipment", which is legal.
