What is the penalty for rule 4.03? Isthe penalty the same as rule 4.03(a)

Thanks

You have received good answers.

A more interesting aspect of your question is: What do you do when the batter leads off with a double and you notice that there was no right-fielder? The defense only had 8 players out there.

Yeah, yeah - I know, "That would never happen in one of my games because I always check to make sure that there are 9 fielders, properly positioned, before I put the ball in play."

Humor me.
