Generally, a double switch occurs when a pitcher is taken out of the game. At the same time, the manager takes another position player out of the game, usually the one who batted last in the previous half inning. This way, the new pitcher can be switched in the batting order with the other new player, so that the new pitcher won't have to bat for awhile (pitchers are usually the worst hitters on a team).Example:Original lineup:left fielder2nd baseman3rd basemancenter fielder1st basemancatchershortstopright fielderpitcherLet's say in the 5th inning, the manager decides to change pitchers. The last guy on his team to bat was the right fielder, which means when his team bats again, the new pitcher would be batting first, which is a disadvantage. So the manager also removes his right fielder from the game and switches the order of the two replacements in the lineup. The manager, in effect, made two holes in the lineup so he could fill them in with two players.
The new lineup would be:left fielder2nd baseman3rd basemancenter fielder1st basemancatchershortstoppitcherright fielderI hope that helps!
