NFHS Rule 8-9-2 states, in part, "The pitcher or catcher must bat and reach base legally (or earn their way on base) in order to be eligible for a courtesy runner." In being entered on offense strictly as a runner, the FLEX has not met this requirement, no matter who last pitched or caught.

As Mike mentions, that isn't illegal in ASA; but you will have cost your DP her re-entry rights to accomplish a courtesy runner. Maybe that makes sense to some coaches.
