It may be. But I've seen teams on occasion with more than two batters out there (e.g., lead-off, on-deck, in-the-hole). We've got to draw the line somewhere, or teams will just trot out their entire roster to take a few cuts as opposed to having them jog to the foul pole and back.
I was just trying to verify NFHS's intent here. The rule book doesn't make it clear if only the lead-off batter, or the lead-off batter and the on-deck batter, is allowed.
