Durng a practice game (Babe Ruth) and in the fifth inning, a fielder on his way to his position, stops at the mound, picks up the baseball and makes a pitch from the pitching rubber. Since it is a practice game I ignore it but I let the coach know that "technically" the fielder would be the new pitcher. I remember reading it in an Internet article so I felt I was correct. Later that night when I was trying to locate language indicating that once a player makes a pitch from the rubber he is the pitcher but I had trouble finding it. Any suggestions where to look?

Mike,
Try Rule 3.08 Substitutions, but note that this rule varies by levels.
