being dual lingual myself I'd say giving instructions no one else understands could provide a huge advantage over the other team, it makes it an unfair playing field!

Have you ever been to a baseball game?

They use hand signals quite frequently to determine who will cover what base under what cirumstances, or which pitch to throw, or whether to attempt a pickoff, or any number of other "plays".

Those are not able to be translated by the other team, either. Should they also be outlawed?

Your statement is silly.

Coaches regularly send "coded" hand signals to the base runners...no different than speaking a foreign language...infact, in this day, it's quite likely that some members of the other team also speak Spanish...
