So in high school you can be a good hitter and not play the field and on the other hand you are not too much with the bat but are good defensively so we will let another player be designated to hit in your place. Well following that logic maybe in basketball you are not a good foul shooter so we will have somebody shoot foul shots in your place? Maybe being sarcastic (no I am
there but just thinking out loud. ) I happened to coach in the neanthedral era. Many times situations dictated "thinking" about pinch hitting, Here is a situation tie game bottom of the last inning runner in scoring position your catcher is due up . Light with the bat . Good defensively.do you pinch hit and remove him from the game.?with the re entry no brainer pinch hit and if need be he can re enter. Might have won a couple more games over the years????
