Quote:
Rule 10.E states that the courtesy runner is not permitted to run as a courtesy runner for the DP if the DP is batting for the pitcher or catcher. Rule 10.B notes who is considered the pitcher and catcher in the bottom half of the first inning. It goes on to state: "Thereafter, the pitcher and catcher are identified as the last players who physically played that position on defense. If a substitute enters in the following half inning and gets on base (DP in this case) should the pitcher or catcher (DEFO) reenter, no courtesy runner can be utulized for the pitcher or catcher that half inning". The 2003 ASA Clinic guide basically says the same thing in simpler terms.
