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?

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".
