Generally, a double switch is executed when the new pitcher will be batting in the next inning. The manager will switch another player, usually one who batted late in the previous inning, and place the pitcher in the batting order position of the replaced player and the new player in the batting order position of the replaced pitcher. This means the new pitcher will not be scheduled to bat in the next inning unless the team starts a rally and scores some runs.
Most often, a double switch is done by the team that is behind in the game. The manager may want to create a favorable batting matchup with the new player against the other team's pitcher in the next inning. If the pitcher is the first batter in the next inning, the manager may put a player in that batting order position that has good speed, is a good bunter, or some other factor in the hopes that the player will be able to get on base and get a rally started. When the double switching team is behind, the new player is almost always put in to increase offensive potential.
If the team that double switches is ahead in the game, it is usually done to place a better defensive player in the game.
