Show me the definition of a Pinch Hitter.
REFERENCE PLEASE such as:
NFHS 2-36-1 "A substitute is a player that is eligible to replace another player already in the line-up." or
3-1-1.d "a substitute has entered the game when the ball is live and :.........d. a batter takes his place in the batter's box"

You've given yourself the rules reference, but failed to quote the important part of that rule. 3-1-1 states that
there shall be no projected substitutions, then says a runner takes the place of a runner he has replaced. You can't project to me that
PR Able is going to be a catcher in the next half inning just the same that you can't tell me that Jones is going to re-enter on defense. A runner is defined as a player of the team at bat who has finished his time at bat and has not yet been put out and includes the batter-runner and any runner who occupiers a base. A runner is just a runner, he is not a catcher. That is not an opinion, it is a definition.
