This is from the FED site:
"2001 NFHS Softball Rules Interpretations
CASE BOOK
2. Page 58, 8.5.1 SITUATION L, replace the RULING with: This would be legal as long as F1 is the pitcher of record. COMMENT: The pitcher or catcher of record would be the player who occupied that position last on defense. In the first half inning, it would be the player listed on the line up card since the team has not played defense yet."
The courtesy runner may be used ONLY for the pitcher or cather of RECORD unless they haven't taken the field yet. Therefore, the answer is no. A pinch hitter is NOT the pitcher of record.

Bob,
Thanks for the information. I now have my rule book for
2001 NFHS unpacked. I do not at this time have a 2001 Case
book. I have contacted an umpire from another chapter that
I will be working with this weekend to bring me one. I was
not aware of the rule being same as ASA. Our chapter did
not distribute Case Books, and I am finding out what a
disadvantage that can be. I also note that from Mikes reply
he had same thoughts that I did. So angain Thanks,
glen
