And the rule behind this is the unreported/unannounced substitution rule. In LL (and I assume Fed BB), an unreported/unannounced substitution of the pitcher takes place when the player throws one warm-up pitch from the pitcher's plate.
So you really need to look at when a player becomes an unreported/unannounced substitute of the pitcher in softball. For example, Fed Softball rule 3-3-3-b and -e says a player becomes an unannounced substitute for the pitcher when she takes her place on the pitcher's plate AND the plate umpire declares the ball live. Delivering warm-ups has nothing to do with it.
