Unreported Sub

[zoops]

OBR - Pinch hitter comes to the plate and does not "report in."  He bats and reaches 1st base whereupon the defense brings the situation to the umpire's attention.  Is there any penalty for this?

No, legal upon entering the batter's box. 3.08(a)(2)

Just for full explanation, the rule @maven cited works when the unreported sub is a legal sub. If the player is not eligible, it is an illegal sub, punishable by ejection.

Very well.  I knew this was the case in FED but wasn't sure on OBR - I see that substitutes do not need to be listed on the lineup card either.
