Hello, I have a question regarding the following question. I am trying to determine whether #10 remains an eligible substitute.
During the sixth inning, a coach makes a pitching change and brings in relief pitcher #10. After #10 warms up but before the pitcher has completed facing one batter, lightning strikes and the game is delayed for an extended period of time. Upon resumption, the coach wants to bring in relief pitcher #20 instead of #10.
I am using rule 5-5-b Note 3--If a pitcher is brought into the game but has not faced one batter (or retired the side) when the game is stopped for weather, such pitcher may, but is not required to, continue pitching when the game is resumed.
Thanks!
