I recall a thread on this previously, but can't find it. Last weekend we had a game we wanted our pitcher (good hitter, average runner) as DP to give us the option for our flex (good runner) to run for her in a potential situation. As we presented the lineup card at pre-game conference, I informed the umpires that our DP was our pitcher, and asked how they would like that listed on the lineup card.
Opposing coach chimes in and says we couldn't do that - something about in HS ball the pitcher has to be listed in the F1 position and deliver at least one pitch -- I successfully argued that was not the case in ASA, but the umpires were confused. It worked out ok after some conversation, but how do you umpires on this forum prefer this presented on the initial line-up card? Obviously when you list Flex and DP, one defensive position on lineup card is not documented unless you would put (DP) (F1)? .
