The 9 on the field can essentially interchange positions including pitching.


1. Adam 4
2. Baker 7
3. Charlie 8
4. Devin 3
5. Evan 9
6. Frank 5
7. George 2
8. Hank 6
9. Ivan DH

James P

So, if Ivan is put into field to play LF for baker, does that mean James now bats in the 2 hole, and no DH rest of the game?

Same line up, but in 2nd inning, Devin is moved to pitcher. Does Ivan then have to go 1b or if I sub Troy for 1b, he would then hit for Ivan, James is out and troy now hits in the 9 hole -- no DH?

Sorry, just want to make sure I understand this rule.

1) Can't do it in FED. Ivan and James are both locked into the 9th spot -- they both can't be on offense or on defense at the same time. If Ivan goes into left, then James must leave the game.

2) treat it as two subs. (a) Devin now pitches, James now plays first, Ivan still DH for James. (b) Troy enters for James, Ivan now DH for Troy.
