a baseball player who only bats in place of the pitcher and does not play defensively in the field
A designated hitter is a player in baseball who is chosen to bat in place of the pitcher. The designated hitter does not play in the field but focuses only on hitting. This role is typically used in leagues where pitchers are not expected to bat, allowing the team to have a stronger hitter in the lineup. The designated hitter is an important part of the offense, as their job is to help the team score runs by getting hits.
