As the term indicates, it's only on "offense". The "ejected" player is still allowed to play defense.
No, it is not a harsh rule. If you are in a division that limits HRs, thats the rule. If you don't like the rule, play at a level where hitting HRs will not hurt you.
Over the past three or four years, ASA has come dangerously close to initiating similar penalties for excess HRs. For one year, the second HR of the game was an ejection at the D level. Inning-ending HRs have come more into focus lately. That, too, is already done by some assns.
