hitter
noun [ C ] uk/ˈhɪt.ər/ us/ˈhɪt̬.ɚ/
击球手（棒球中轮到击球的球员）
in baseball, the player whose turn it is to hit the ball
Davis is expected to see action primarily as a designated hitter (= a player who regularly hits instead of another player, usually instead of the pitcher, each time it is the other player's turn to hit). 戴维斯在比赛中主要担任指定击球手（即每次轮到其他选手击球时，他代为击球）。
In the seventh inning, the manager inserted Trammell as a pinch hitter (= a player who hits instead of another player after the other player has appeared in the game). 在第七回合中，主教练把特拉梅尔作为代打换上场。
