substitution rule

can someone clarify an asa girls fastpitch rule, once you submit an original line up of players / batting order, can you substitute another player for one of the original players in the line up or must you bat through the complete line up once before any substitutions are made to the batting order

thanks much

You can make a change at any time after the lineups are official. You do not have to wait until the second time around.

You can even make a substitution at the plate meeting.

thanks much, we have some strange local bylaws here. they are making us bat the entire line up before we can substitute but we are required to make sure all girls get at least one at bat and play at least one inning in the field - makes it tough at times to get them all in

Our local league bylaws require batting the roster with free substitution on defense. I think there are requirements for number of innings on defense for each player, but we let the parents police that.

If that approach or some variant seems easier to manage, you might suggest it to your league administrators for next year.

Agreed - most league ball around here is done the same way. Even up to 16U.
