And if you think about it, there is no violation until protested, so presuming anything would be different is an unsubstantiated guess, at best.

Also, there is no violation until AFTER the incorrect batter has completed their turn at bat.

R1 on 1B no outs.
B3 bats for B2.
On first pitch, B3 swings and misses, and R1 steals 2B.
DC appeals BOO on B3 with 0-1 count.

EFFECT: No penalty, B2 bats and assumes current count on B3.

This could support keeping R1 on 2B regardless of outcome of BOO.
