You mean OBR.
Except for the first batter a pitcher faces, there is no restriction prohibiting removing a pitcher during an at bat... substitute pitcher begins on that batter with the existing count.

On the contrary.........in OBR if the coach makes a visit and leaves the pitcher in the game, then he cannot make a second visit to remove him while that same batter is at bat. If he attempts to, then you advise him that he cannot. If he continues to make that 2nd visit, then you eject the coach, require the pitcher to finish the batter (or the 3rd out of the inning), and then remove the pitcher for the coach's 2nd (illegal) trip during the same batter.
This is not true for Fed. While Fed provides their 3 free visits without removing the pitcher, all those visits can legally occur during the same AB of a batter.
Just my opinion,

Interesting. I have never seen a coach try to visit the same pitcher twice during the same batter's at bat, but I understand Bobby Cox got ejected for trying this once upon a time.
