I'm coaching our league's 10U USSSA All-Star team. This is the first year our league has played USSSA. Last year we were in Babe Ruth, so I'm still a little unsure about the rules. Our team has 10 players and USSSA allows an EH. So everyone will be in the batting order. My questions are regarding substitutions.
1. Starting pitcher - What is the restrictions on the starting pitcher returning to the mound in the same game? I know that he can't return if he's removed from two trips to the mound in the same inning. But what if he's pulled between innings and is moved to another position? What if he's pulled during an inning after one trip to the mound and moved to another position? Or if he's moved to EH?
2. Fielders - Since we only have 10 players and all are in the batting order (because of the EH), do I basically have free reign on substitutions?
