Pool players are Major League and Minor League players that volunteer to play with other teams (within their league) when a team can't form a full line up due to absent players. It is a great chance to get to play some extra baseball for kids.
There are specific rules for pool players:
Players wishing to play in extra games shall notify the Player Agent of their intent to be a pool player through this form. The Player Agent shall keep lists of eligible pool players. When a manager requests a pool player, the Player Agent will select from the available list of pool players on a rotational basis.
Managers can request a pool player in the following circumstances:
If they will only have 9 regular players, with the pool player bringing the game roster to a total of 10 players.
If they will only have 8 regular players, they can request one or two pool players (at the manager’s discretion), bringing their game roster to either 9 or 10.
If they will only have 7 regular players, they can request two pool players, bringing their game roster to 9.
Under no circumstances can a manager request more than two pool players. Therefore, if a manager can only field 6 regular players, the game cannot be played.
Managers can only request pool players from the Player Agent. They cannot get their own pool players, nor can they borrow pool players from the team they are playing. If Managers violate this rule, they are subject to discipline by the Board.
