Hitting teams Coach reports a substitution, sub coming in to bat for a player in the original lineup. When her turn at bat comes up, the original player comes up to bat instead of the sub.
Checking that my understanding is correct:
1) At any point during the at bat, before a fair batted ball, strikeout or walk the Coach could:
2) After a fairly batted ball, strikeout, walk or HBP but before the next pitch:
3) If the defensive team doesn't say anything, after the next pitch?
4) In the event the original player is batting and is hit by the first pitch. Can the hitting teams coach report the original player reentered or put the sub in for the original player?
Besides those questions:
At what point does the substitution actually occur? Once you tell the umpire? If a mistake is made can it be corrected a) before the next pitch, or b) before the at bat occurs?
