June 18, 201313 yr Author Technically, Cain is called out and, yes, Donovan takes his proper spot. #1 is incorrect. (#2 was a hint to #1) #3: What do we have? 1. So I assume a full AB has to take place before any action can be taken? 3. I would think 3 would be same as 2. The batter that should have batted is called out, then Donovan takes his AB, and no runs score, or runners advance.

The batter that should have batted is called out, then Donovan takes his AB, and no runs score, or runners advance. Correct. If it's brought to the attention of the umpire before the at-bat is completed the correct batter can be put in without penalty. Correct on 3 as well. No runners can advance.
June 18, 201313 yr I was coaching a freshman summer team years ago and the opposing team had the #4 hitter hit third. He flew out so I didn't mention it to blue thinking I may need it. Sure enough next time up he doubled. Went to the kid umping and , after explaining the rule to him and his partner, the double was wiped off the board. Still lost.
