For baseball do you just choose your defensive players and thats all that plays or do you pick people who are purely there to bat as well. If so, surely they are the ones you would want to set against different sided pitchers, or maybe im just getting it completley wrong  |
The defensive players are the same players who bat. If you want someone else to bat for a player, that player has to come out of the game for good, and the new player (pinch-hitter as he is called) has to take the field (well, unless you go and take him out of the game too after he takes his swings). The only exception to this is when the DH (Designated Hitter) rule is in play. The DH bats for the pitcher. You can set that in your league preferences...in real life one of the major leagues uses it and one doesn't.
