a pitcher can wear anything that is not distracting to the batter or runners if he is wearing long white sleeves and the opposing coach feels it is a distraction he can call time bring it to the attention of the umpires and request that it change by rolling up sleeves or taking undershirt off

Baseball Pitching Sleeve

Ive seen some pitchers get thrown out of a game cause the batter couldn't see the ball cause of the white sleeves so i wouldn't try

No he may not. MLB states that your sleeves have to match a color in your uniform that is not white. Simply because they are afraid the white will in some way make it harder for a batter to see the ball, kinda silly considering that most of the uniforms are white.

In my experience (school + travel baseball) you can wear any color sleeves EXCEPT white. Not sure if that is just a local rule or an official rule though...

No he can’t. this prevents the pitcher from gaining an advantage against the hitter where the ball can be lost in the pitcher’s throwing motion.

the rule is subjective......he can wear white sleeves as long as it does not distract the batter from seeing the ball. if even one batter on the other team complains he must take them off.

If it goes with the uniform, but other than that I dont believe so.

Why would he want to? Wouldn't it make it tougher to pitch? And wouldn't it make him hotter than hell?
