With substitutions, relief pitchers and pinch runners, it could get confusing as to who exactly are the players on the field. Which could be part of the reason why Major League Baseball decided that once a ballpark announcer announces a certain player, that player must step up to bat in order to stay in the game. If he doesn’t, he becomes ineligible for the rest of the game. This rule is to help clarify who is actually playing at the moment.
