UEFL University examines Cincinnati Manager Jim Riggleman's appeal of New York skipper Mickey Callaway's administrative batting-out-of-turn error.
Article & Written Analysis: https://www.closecallsports.com/2018/...

As a result of the successful appeal, NY lost a runner in scoring position and a batter. Batting out of Turn is covered by Official Baseball Rule 6.03(b), which we analyze in this explanation of why batter Jay Bruce was declared out, and not improper batter Asdrubal Cabrera, and why Wilmer Flores, who improperly batted ahead of both players, was not affected by this appeal play.

According to Rule 6.03(b)(1), a batter commits an illegal action, on defensive appeal, when said batter fails to bat in his/her proper turn and another batter completes a time at bat in place of the proper batter.

If the defense fails to appeal, the improper batter becomes a proper batter as soon as a pitch is thrown to an ensuing hitter.

In Flores' case, he became a proper batter because a pitch was thrown to the ensuing hitter.

In Cabrera's case, he remained improper because Riggleman appealed the out-of-order violation before a pitch was thrown to the batter that followed. Because the proper batter was Bruce, that's who was declared out and the player that followed Bruce—Adrian Gonzalez—was sent up to hit to lead off New York's next time at bat.

Errata: The batting out of turn appeal play occurred on a Wednesday, not a Tuesday.
