If the pitcher is listed on the lineup card handed to the umpire, he must pitch to the first batter he faces.
Babe Ruth (OBR) and LL are essentially identical
3.05
a) The pitcher named in the batting order handed the umpire in chief, as provided in Rules 4.01 (a) and 4.01 (b), shall pitch to the first batter or any substitute batter until such batter is put out or reaches first base, unless the pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the judgment of the umpire in chief, incapacitates him from pitching.
