To my recollection, California has yet to adopt the courtesy runner state option. There is also no 10-run rule here either. Brutality.

I always found it funny that the courtesy runner rule is invoked as a way to speed up the game, but after a strike out the coach demands his team throw the ball around and waste time in celebration.

The courtesy runner rules are listed in the rule book following section 10, under the title Suggested Speed Up Rules. You should find all the answers to your questions, and the coach's, there. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies. I was just making sure that I was correct. My partner is a few years my senior and was thinking that the starter on the bench could be a courtesy runner do to him still being eligible to reenter. He was uncertain and I was certain so the courtesy runner was not allowed.
