Do you understand "officially"? That means there is nothing in the book which requires it.

Would it be prudent for a team to report the change? Yes. Will you DQ a player for failing to report a change in defensive position? I hope not.

How are you NOT going to know of a pitching change after providing the player with a warm-up period if change is during a half inning? For the beginning of an half inning, I can see where it might be an issue, but I'm also expecting myself to notice a different face on the PP.
