The Official Baseball Rule requires a batter-runner touch first base during a bases on balls or other similar base award, and this includes prior to the player being substituted for. The substitute cannot correct the original BR's baserunning infraction meaning if the defense appeals, the substitute runner shall be declared out for the violation of the preceding teammate.
