I understand your logic--however, it is not correct.
Keep in mind that the warm-up pitch limitation specifies "substitute." If he never becomes a substitute, then the pitches he throws are irrelevant.
Also keep in mind that if F1 was injured or ejected, PU better be having a conversation with his HC to get the situation (in the case of an injury) and substitute. If I see a new arm out there in any circumstance, I validate the substitution--sometimes it's not a straight switch, particularly in HS ball.
