Only if the coach is trying to nullify the play made by the illegal sub. Even if detected later, an illegal sub is an illegal sub is an illegal sub. (Sometimes harder to PROVE later though!)

MD, the more I read the rule the more I believe you can't have a BOO also. Rule book says penalty Art. 2a The proper batter is considered to have lost her turn at bat. Maybe I am reading something wrong. Dave

The proper batter (B1) IS considered to have lost her turn at bat when Flex illegally subbed for her and was not caught.

Then, in the 4th inning, when B2 is up... B1 comes to the plate and bats out of order.

I interpreted this differently. Not that the OP has to prove to the message board the accuracy of the sitch, rather, in real time during the game, how do you really know/prove that there was an illegal substitute a half-inning or more later....

Furthermore, you can only go for the penalty of an illegal sub while she is illegally in the game. This means you have to catch it while she is on offense for a player other than the DP.

If she batted or played defense she is currently in the game, regardless if she is sitting in the dugout, in the batters box, on base, or in the field. The flex was in the game. Dave

MD, so in my scenario, if everything is appealed correctly, I would have Flex restricted for illegal substitution, B2 out for BOO since she should have batted, B1 removed from base, and B3 up to bat. Dave

That's what I would have.

For the penalty part where you nullify the play, yes.

The restriction part - no.
