In all my years as a clinician, I have never used the term because it makes no sense. In those situations, there is no "rotation"

I used baseball to show why a rotation might not happen with runners in scoring position (HP has to prepare for a play at the plate, so U1 (and U3) need to watch the other base runners), and I inferred that softball might use similar logic for this type of situation. I say this because I have experience working both sports.
Then why not just refer to softball mechanics?
