Did I get this FLEX situation right?

That's why I said in my other post either an eligible sub or the DP.

Moving the DP on defense simply means the FLEX has left the game, but does not meet the definition of a "substitute" to which is what I was referring.

The Illegal Substitute Rule 3-4 Penalty states in part "The proper batter is considered to have lost her turn at bat."

NFHS casebook 3.4.2 Situation A covers this.

The above is based on NFHS softball rules.

Thank you, but as you can see, I am referring strictly to ASA.
