Well, it's not a myth in LLBB, and likely not in LLSB either, given that both rule books are very similar. And in straight OBR (pro baseball) as well as NCAA baseball, an unannounced pitching change is made when the new pitcher gets on the pitcher's plate. He doesn't even have to deliver a warm-up.

So it's far from a myth. But obviously it doesn't apply to NCAA, NFHS, or ASA softball.
