That's allowed in FED baseball? It's not allowed in FED softball. In FED softball, the pitcher or catcher from the previous half-inning has to be the player who bats and gets on base in order for a CR to be legal.

In baseball, I think it's 2005 interp, situation 2. That's from memory, but it's come up so often ....

Yep, good memory!
SITUATION 2: In the home half of the third inning, Team A’s catcher is legally pinch-hit for by S1. S1 draws a walk, and the coach legally re-enters the catcher. Now, with the catcher on first base, the home team’s coach requests and uses a courtesy runner for the catcher. RULING: This is a legal use of the courtesy runner. (Speed-Up Rules)
