Q1 - One at a time for each batter receiving four balls.

Q2 - If the pitcher he pulls remains in the game, she can
come back and pitch once per inning. Otherwise, he
may change until he runs out of pitchers, but each is
a substitution.

Q3 - Is more or less a speed up rule to keep the batters
in the batter's box. Batter's must remain in the BB
with at least one foot between pitches and while re-
ceiving signals and practice swings. Check swing is
one of 8 exceptions that the batter may leave the box
Rule 7 Sec 3 C. [exceptions]

Glen,

Gotta disagree with answer to Q2. In ASA, a pitcher who is still eligible to compete at that position may pitch leave and enter the pitching position as often as they desire as long as they stay in the game. The only restriction for same inning returns is that they receive no warm-up pitches when returning.

This will rarely, if ever, happen to some umpires, but thems the rules.

And as usual you are correct. Got ahead of my thinking and
typing...LOL
