Hi there. I play in an amatuer league and a situation occured recently where a batter on our team was hit by a pitch and had to immediately be helped off the field into the dugout. The umpire said that he, the hit batter, had to touch first before we could put a runner in for him. It seemed reasonable at the time and we eventually walked him over to first, but then I started thinking of times I've seen players in the Majors get hit Bad and absolutely could not make it to first. Is this an actual rule(I can't find it in the book) or was our ump mistaken?
Thanks in advance.
