Rules of pinch hitters and pitchers in baseball
The article explains that the fielding team may substitute a pitcher, but the relief pitcher must pitch until a batter is retired or reaches first base to prevent stalling. The battering team may remove any batter at will, with no limit, except a pinch-batter announced and then withdrawn is out for the rest of the game. The at bat manager can withdraw a left handed pinch hitter in favor of a right hander, but the fielding manager cannot withdraw the southpaw until one batter is retired or reaches first base.
