What does "gets pulled" mean in a baseball game?

Sports Asked on December 27, 2020

A guy is explaining some unwritten rules in baseball. At about 7’50″ into the video, the guy says

If a pitcher gets pulled they should stay in the dugout at least until the end of that inning.

What does "gets pulled" mean there?

One Answer

It means to remove the pitcher from the game mid-inning, typically because of ineffectiveness. So you normally don't use it for a specialist one hitter pitcher (pre-2020). See also "yank the pitcher".
