Or...is there a set number of pitches you get?
2. Besides this website, where could I get an online version of the ASA rule book?
Thanks!

Quote:
ART. 5 . . . At the beginning of each half-inning or when a pitcher relieves another, no more than one minute may be used to deliver no more than five balls to the catcher or other teammate. The one-minute time limit begins from the third out of the previous half-inning. Play shall be suspended during this time.
NOTES:
1. A pitcher returning in the same half inning will not be granted any warm-up pitches.
2. Umpire is authorized to allow more pitches when weather is inclement or if pitcher was removed due to an injury

Play 6.9-1
When a substitute replaces F1, how many warm up pitches are permitted?
Ruling: FIVE; however the umpire is authorized to allow more pitches when weather is inclement or F1 was removed because of injury and the substitute did not have time to warm up before entering
