Team is batting 9 players with the pitcher being listed as pitcher & DH on the lineup card. Pitcher catches a hot shot on the pitching hand in the first inning. Manager replaces pitcher, but says he will still bat as the DH.
I know in most codes, this would not be allowed, but the manager insisted it was legal in NBC. As substitue umpires for that game, me and my partner allowed it, and the opposing manager didn't have a problem with it either.
Was it the right call? I can't find any NBC regulations out there.
