On offense, this means that a substitution can only occur with a live runner or a current batter. On defense, this means that the switch must be made at the time of the announcement, and that the player being replaced must be in the field.

Under OBR and the MLBUM there is NO such limitation.
LL has that limitation in its tournament rules but not in its regular season rules.
