Best Answer

If the umpire is informed of a change, players can change the position they are playing at any time when time has been called. In theory, someone playing first base could be moved to be the pitcher.

This can happen if a manager has run out of usable pitchers and must use someone who vaguely remembers how to pitch.

And, if it is willed, that non-pitcher who gets to pitch can be a hero!

Middle Relief Pitcher. A pitcher who goes in around the 5th - 7th inning.


How do you determine the winning pitcher when the starting pitcher leaves before completing the 5th inning?

The win goes to the relief pitcher (assuming there was more than one relief pitcher) whom the official scorer feels was most instrumental in the victory. That relief pitcher must pitch at least 1 full inning, or pitch a crucial out if he pitches less than one inning.
