Pitchers will be randomly assigned by National League committee from idle teams. Your team pitcher will not pitch for your team! The pitcher will be assigned from an idle team for the duration of the game, will not rotate out, will not bat, and will not play defensively. Example - 4 teams with 4 pitchers. Team 1 vs Team 2 will use pitchers from teams 3 and 4. Pitchers/Designated hitters from teams 1 and 2 will both bat and run bases, but will not pitch during this game. Active pitchers must use a safety screen. If the batted ball hits the screen, it is an out. If the thrown ball hits the screen, it is a live ball.
