			The OBR rule book says that a pinch hitter officially becomes a player when he steps into the batter's box. A coach was telling me that he thought that an unannounced pinch hitter should be treated as batting out of order, thus appealing after the at-bat. Is there a penalty for not announcing a pinch hitter? Jay |
