If you want to make the DP field in the first inning, is it best practice to leave no position next to their name on the original lineup card and then after the plate meeting inform the umpire the DP is playing defense. Especially when that player is the catcher and it can affect courtesy runners.
Or would you leave one player in the lineup without a position and put DP and the position next to the DP’s name? Just like you do with the flex.
Some confusion the other night and the umpire didn’t even seem to understand the Dp and flex could field at the same time. And for those that use DP in the field, do you report position changes or only substitutes. And DP playing defense is not a substitution (unless for the flex player).
