PLAYER POSITION/LINEUPS

• SITUATION A
• The batting order lists an additional player
  who is not in the team area at the beginning of
  the game.
• Make the Call?

16
RULING

• Illegal
• Rule (5-1-A)
• A team must have the required number of players
  present in the dugout or team area to start or
  continue a game

17
PLAYER POSITION/LINEUPS

• SITUATION B
• The lineup card lists the Designated Hitter (DH)
  and the person being DH for, the Defensive Player
  (DP), in the same batting position.
• Make the Call?

18
RULING

• Legal
• Rule (5-4)
• When using a DH, the players should both be
  listed in batting position where the DH will bat.
  1st name is DH second name is DP.

19
PLAYER POSITION/LINEUPS

• SITUATION C
• F4 Brown, who is listed in the batting order as
  wearing uniform No. 4, is wearing No. 21. After
  reaching base in the third inning, the coach of
  the defensive team appeals to the umpire that
  Brown is batting out of order.
• Make the Call?

20
RULING

• Legal
• Rule (5-1, 9-10)
• This is a correctable error. While Brown
  technically had violated the rule that requires
  that players name, shirt number and position to
  be on the lineup card, there is no penalty.
  However If the number was correct but the player
  batting was not Brown, the batting-out-of-order
  penalty would be imposed.

21
It is a Great System but

• You have to practice it
• You have to commit to using it

GOOD LUCK!
