Pinch Running
Question
In slow pitch ASA softball, what is the rules about pinch running. If a player has a bad leg, who is allowed to pinch run for him, and how often can a team use pinch runners?
Answer
Hi Matthew,
if you're talking about courtesy runner's, in sp they're allowed only in senior play.
You can of course legally sub for a runner, bad leg or not, but it counts as a substitution. You cannot have a "pinch runner" with out using a legal sub.
