What's the ruling on a player who re-enters a game without notifying the ump?
Depends on what happens.
And depends on which sanctioning body you're asking about. The penalty- or lack of a penalty- can vary quite a bit from one to the other.
Good catch. I saw "Any" and read "ASA" by mistake.
maybe you should use my glasses ump as we now know you can't see.
how many times have you heard that one...
The player in question comes back into the game, he is given an intentional walk and then the opposing team notifies the ump that the manager nor the player told the ump of the re-entry. The player was called out, but stayed in the game. To me he becomes an illegal player and should have been ejected also. Is this the right call?

Did this player have a re-entry left and did he re-enter in his proper position in the batting order? If the answer to either one of those questions is "no", then he would be an Illegal Player.
But if he had a re-entry and entered in his proper spot in the order, isn't he treated as an Unreported Substitute? When an Unreported Sub has completed his at-bat, and is discovered before the next pitch, he is called out and now officially in the game- exactly the penalty that this umpire seems to have applied.
This is considered an Illegal Player which calls for that player to be DQd and replaced by a legal substitute. I think the umpire confused this with an Illegal Substitute
No, there was no change to the reentry/illegal player violations when they adjusted the unreported substitute effect.
But correct me if I am wrong you only have to report in when your batting.. You can go out to play D without reporting in..
I don't know why players think that there's a difference...
Perhaps from playing in so many local leagues where the substitution rules are so lax that they're never enforced. Or maybe from all the leagues that use the "continuous batting order" (bat the entire roster) and allow free substitution in the field.
Consider yourself corrected. Yes, you are wrong.
Anytime you are "in the game," whether it's on offense or defense, you MUST report in.
I don't know why players think that there's a difference. There is none. You're either in the game, or you aren't. And when your status in the game changes, you must report it.
