Which section addresses the order of substitution and re-entry procedures?

• A. Pitching, Substitutions, and Batting Order
• B. Base Running, Interference, and Obstruction
• C. Scoring, Umpires, and Time
• D. Fielding, Equipment, and Safety

Answer: (A)

Substitution and re-entry procedures are covered in the section that combines Pitching, Substitutions, and Batting Order. This part of the rulebook explains who may enter or re-enter the game, the sequence and restrictions for substitutions, and how re-entry interacts with the batting order, all while keeping the substitution process linked to the pitching rules. In practice, if a player leaves the field, the rules here tell you how they can return (including any limitations) and how that affects the order in which batters appear in the lineup. The other sections focus on base running, scoring, time, or fielding issues, not on how substitutions and re-entry work, so they don’t address this topic.
