thisusedyet posted:Always wondered about this - If a line drive clocks a pitcher and carries into the stands over the dugout, is that a homer or a foul ball? 5.05(a)(9) quote:(9) Any fair fly ball is deflected by the fielder into the stands,or over the fence into foul territory, in which case the batter shall be entitled to advance to second base; but if deflected into the stands or over the fence in fair territory, the batter shall be entitled to a home run. However, should such a fair fly be deflected at a point less than 250 feet from home plate, the batter shall be entitled to two bases only. I hope answering questions is ok.

You can swap players mid at bat. Usually it's only done for injury reasons, since it's usually not worth the risk of a new pitcher trying to find their control right away. Working the count is a big part of the rhythm of pitching and players like starting fresh.
