subsitute rule

[coachtucc]

I am sure I know this but just in case since I was told by my head coach that I am wrong..

Player A is pitching and hitting
Player B is on the bench

Player B comes in for Player A to pitch and hit and Player A is now out of the game

Can Player A come in again for anyone or just Player B

 

[chinamigarden]

Just for player B

 

[Amy in AZ.]

But player A can replace anyone on the field, just not in the batting line up.

 

[coachtucc]

so player A can go back on the field for anyone but not hit for them unless its Player B???

 

[joemcq51]

Player A can reenter the game for player B. Once reentered, she can go anywhere in the field.

 

[Amy in AZ.]

She has to go back to her original spot in the line up. It doesn't matter where anyone goes on the field.

She has to go back to her original spot in the line up. It doesn't matter where anyone goes on the field.

We have a winner. Player A can return to the line up for anyone as long as that "anyone" is occupying the same spot in the batting order previously occupied by Player A

 

[coachtucc]

so Player A can't replace Player C if Player C is in a different spot in the lineup only any player that is in the spot she originally occupied!!

HS Rule:

"Any player, starter or substitute may be withdrawn from the game
and re-entered once, provided such player occupies the same batting position
whenever in the lineup. A starter and any substitute for a starter may not be in the
game at the same time. A violation results in illegal substitution."

so Player A can't replace Player C if Player C is in a different spot in the lineup only any player that is in the spot she originally occupied!!

Player A can replace B in the line up. Or player C can replace B in the line up, and then later A can replace C, since they are all tied to the same slot in the batting order.
