Unreported sub
Unreported substitute S1 comes to the plate for B1 and takes a pitch. The defense requests time and properly appeals that S1 is unreported.
Simplified answers:
ASA: S1 is disqualified, and all play stands. B1 can re-enter if eligible, or a legal sub can take S1's place with the same count. [4-6-c(1)]
NFHS: S1 is declared officially in the game. A team warning is issued. Second offense restricts the unreported sub and the coach to the bench for the remainder of the game. [3-6-7]
NCAA: S1 is called out and declared officially in the game. The next proper batter shall bat. [8.3.3.3.1]
Why do the three codes have such differing penalties for the same thing?
Edited to correct the NFHS ruling.
