Coach wants to know if he can replace Ann with Donna,
and have Donna pitch with Barb on bench as NFB.

Then does not want Donna to bat,
so wants to have Cathy bat/run for her
and Donna (DP/pitcher) field only (like FLEX).

NFB – Non Fielding Batter

Please comment.

Well yes, to a point...

Donna can sub for Ann (so far Donna is still the DP and she can play F1)

THEN Cathy (the FLEX) can bat for Donna - but Donna will have left the game.

For Donna to pitch again, she will have to use her one re-entrty (and Donna will again be the flex)

Next at bat, Cathy can again bat for Donna, but Donna will not be able to return.
