Speaking ASA.
I'm sorry, but the DP bats for no one. The DP bats in the position the DP was listed at the beginning of the game.
If the batter (ANY BATTER) in question occupied the defensive position of F1 or F2 when their team recorded the final out in the previous half inning, they have met the qualifications of being replaced on the bases during that half inning by a courtesy runner (different one for each position) as long as that player reached base on their own accord.
Obviously, this would not apply in the top half of the 1st inning as the DP cannot be listed as F1 or F2.
However, if the FLEX is F1 or F2, it is possible that the Flex could bat for the DP in the top of the 1st and be eligible for a CR. However, if the DP re-entered after the Flex reached base, that player is NOT eligible for a CR.
I do believe it is the same for NFHS.
