				NFHS 8-9-5 Courtesy Runner
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Here is the Rule:  8-9-5 
ART. 5 . . . The courtesy runner is not permitted to run as a courtesy runner for the Designated Player (DP), if the DP is only batting, and not playing defense, for the pitcher or the catcher. 
 
Now here is a situation. 
Bottom of the 3rd. 
DP bats and gets a single.  While on 1st Base the coach says they would like to Sub the Flex who was the pitcher(F1) in the top of the inning for the DP. The home team is now down to 9.  With the pitcher(F1) now on 1st Base the coach would like to use a player eligible to be a Courtesy Runner as the CR for the Pitcher(F1). 
 
Legal or Illegal? 
Is the CR now running for the Pitcher(F1) or the DP.
