He had to pitch to that batter.

I doubt you "have to." You can be removed for any number of health reasons.. which they aren't going to actively challenge each situation.. They could have removed him and even stated something ill went wrong with him, especially after a delay.. but I doubt questions would even be asked.


His eligibility for the game would have just been burned.
