Batting Out of Order
OK, this is going to be a VERY hypothetical situation, but I could see it happening at lower levels.
FED Rules:
Batting order is B1, B2, B3,....B9.
B2 bats in the spot of B1 and advances to first base. A legal/illegal pitch occurs to B3 so now B2's actions are legalized (7-1-2 PENALTY 3,5). This happens a few times in the order and now B2's batting spot is due up again, but B2 is sitting on third base. Who gets to bat in B2's spot?
If this is too confusing, I'm mostly looking at the note after 7-1-2 which states:
When several players bat out of order before discovery is made so that a player's time at bat occurs while he is a runner, such player remains on base, but he is NOT out as a batter.
Thanks,
Aaron
