One key phrase here!
"before the next pitch, legal or illegal"

1. While the incorrect batter is at bat:
EFFECT: The correct batter must take the batter’s position and assume
any balls and strikes. Any runs scored or bases run while the incorrect
batter was at bat shall be legal. There is no penalty whether discovered
by the offense or defense while the incorrect batter is at bat.

D.1. applies during the at bat. D.2. applies after completion of the at bat (when the batter becomes a runner or is retired). There is no retroactivity.

I don't see this as batting out of order.
Its simply a clerical mistake.

How is anyone suppose to know the name is correct?

Trust a coach?
Trust a player?

I'm not going to ask a 12-year old for her driver's license to prove it.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

In the OP, if one of the numbers appears on the lineup and the other does not, that makes the number seem wrong. If the name seems to match, either by the previous batter being correct or the ump recognizing the player's position, etc. then no issue.

But yes, sometimes faith is required (also by the other coach).

Except that's not the key phrase here... it wasn't BOO.
