This statement is true...well, almost as the player must have a pitch thrown or a play made....as it pertains to the rules involving unreported subs.
Another thing is the reference to batter, fielder, offense and defense. I think the easiest way to approach this subject is to remember when the coach comes to you with a substitution or re-entry, it isn't the the batter or fielder being changed. The change is with the the line-up. What the coach does with that line-up is subject to other rules and restrictions.
