Question
Guest Carl Carlson
LL rules. Regulation XIV (f) and Rule 3.09 prohibit a coach warming up a pitcher. Questions:
1. Can a coach warm up a player who is a non-pitcher? I can find no rule or regulation which mentions non-pitchers.
2. If yes to #1, when does a player become a pitcher? Game time? Some set time before the game starts?
3. Does the rule apply differently to the starting pitcher vs. a potential reliever (which in LL might be more than half the team)?
Situation: As coach I typically show up early to get the gear in order and prepare the field. When completed can I play catch with my son if no other kids have arrived yet? Or if some have arrived but I have an odd number?

You're doing it wrong. Give the helmet and mitt to a player before the half inning ends. He should hold them in his hands. When it time to warm up, send out that player with the helmet and mitt (

Pre-game, I'll leave you alone if you are just playing catch and no other players are standing around. During the game, leave it alone. Also, you don't need to suit up a catcher to warm up a pit
