It's probably just sweat and rosin as that's a pretty sticky combination. The way he does just makes it look super obnoxious. 

Yeah, wet your long hair before you go to the mound and grab it between each pitch to get that grip. Every pitcher should start doing that, someone tell Giolito

He is collecting sweat from the back of his hair and then he dabs the rosin.  King of Juco showed a similar mixture with suntan lotion and rosin and it does improve your spin rate.  Its not as good as spidertack, but it works.  

Cease does the same thing but he doesn't make it look like he's definitely got spider tack in his hair.

If this turns into a bullpen game and it looks like it has, Cleveland definitely has a strong upper hand..

Given how league wide spin rates cratered and now are on the rise again, I think it's obvious pitchers found a spider tack equivalent that's more difficult for umps to check. You wouldn't see spin rate increases like this if all they were using is sweat and rosin.
