Batters Wants OUT

[johnnyg08]

The count should remain the same for that at bat...if it's 0-2 it's 0-2, if it's 3-0, it's 3-0 if it wasn't that way, coaches could just substitute and get a new count. these kids are 9 and 10 years old...the league should have a rule set as others have stated.

9 & 10 years old? Continious batting order?

"My arm hurts"

Coach, your player says his arm hurts get a new batter up here please.

Next. Lets move on please.

But I guess you could look at it as training for next year, when the kids start playing in MLB. If thats the case, tell the kid there is no whinning in baseball, suck it up and get in the box.

As you very well know, some parents think it's a possibility by the way they act

Depending on your rule set, you may have to invoke OBR 9.01c or FED 10-2-1g. To paraphrase, both rules state the umpire in chief as the authority to rule on matters not mentioned in the rule books. Since you aren't going to find a continuous batting order rule in either of those books, you have a case to rule any way you choose if these are local league rules.
