SITUATION: #22/Able (Visitors), starts at F5 in the 7th spot in the batting order. In the bottom of the 5th inning, #22/Able switches position with #10/Baker and becomes the new F1 and takes 8 warm-up pitches. In the top of the 6th inning, #22/Able comes up to bat and gets on base. At this point the V-HC decides to Pinch Run (that's right, Pinch Run, not use a Courtsey Runner for F1) and #14/Charlie comes in to Pinch Run for #22/Able. At the start of the bottom of the 6th inning, #22/Able re-enters the game for #14/Charlie. In our game #22/Able only used 5 warm-up pitches when he re-entered the game but would the rules allowed him to have 8 warm-up pitches when he re-entered the game (keeping in mind that he was still the pitcher of record while #14/Charlie was in the game even though he was no longer in the game)?

MTD, Sr.

NCAA and MLB/OBR he can't re-enter once removed for the PR so it's moot.
