ejected or just restricted

[retired]

Batter, after being warned the previous at bat, again carelessly wings his bat at catcher after hitting a double. I believe the double counts, b/r removed from second. Is he ejected or just restricted to the dugout?

What does 3-3-1 say? (no books handy, sorry)

And, in many areas, there's no practical difference between the two. We don't send the kid "out of sight and sound" without an adult, so EJd kids just stay in the dugout.

Isn't there paper work involved giving a ejection vs a restriction?
Not to mention game suspension?
That's why I asked for a correct ruling, it could make a big difference for coach and or player.

FED almost never allows restriction of a player. There is only one allowable time, and that is an illegal player (3-1-1).

It's easier to remember that, than trying to work the other way.

Your state rules may vary.

"FED almost never allows restriction of a player."

MAJOR EDIT!

My state DOES NOT allow the restriction of a player for other than the reason listed by Johnny. Major BF here guys . . .

Oregon does not restrict players.

3-3-1c: carelessly throw a bat

Penalty: At the end of playing action, the umpire shall issue a warning to the coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be ejected

bobjenkins is in effect spot on that an ejection and suspension are one in the same where proximity of the kid to the field are concerned, it's only the coach that gets to sit in the bus.
