Not an injury? Then the relief pitcher gets 8 warm-ups.

Either way, in Fed (and most youth ball) the starting pitcher cannot return to the mound.

NCAA and OBR the pitcher can return (subject to certain restrictions).

Bob,

I would like to politely disagree. I say politely, since I am not totally 100% sure. However, I thought in Federation, if the starting pitcher stays in the game (meaning: he moved to right field) that he can come back and pitch once the sub(s) fullfill the requirment of "out or on".

However, if he leaves the game, he can no longer return to pitch, but still has re-entry rights.

Let me know if I am mistaken.
