Defensive coach says he was considering putting #10 in to pitch, but changed his mind and decided to keep #17 as pitcher.
There was a ruling on the field but before I say what it was I wanted to know what you thought. I think this has been discussed before but I can't find a previous thread.

I think, and I think we have concluded before that a player can throw the ball from anywhere to another player without changing position.
