Since the DP can play any defensive postion and no substitutions are involved unless the Flex is no longer playing defense, Coach Murphy only has to report to the PU that the DP (Traina) is going to pitch, and his P (Locke) is going to play offense only - a reporting required because there are position changes involved. This approach gives him a "free" pinch runner when he uses the Flex to substitute for a DP that is on base, Traina in this case. He can only run for her once, but he does not have to use one of his stable of pinch-runners from the bench.

In the scenario you described (I think), the strong-hitting pitcher is listed as the DP and the weak-hitting pitcher is listed as the Flex. After the lineups are official, the DP substitutes for the Flex and pitches. Then if she gets lit up, the coach can reenter his Flex and keep the strong bat in the lineup.

Sorry if I misread your scenario, and probably too much information anyway.
NOt sure why you would want to do this, run the FLEX for the DP, since the DP is listed as the pitcher she can have a courtesy runner and there is NO substitutes (or the DP leaving the game with only one reentry). THis is assuming the CR rules is the same in NCAA.
