Designated Hitter
Designated hitter is hitter that only participates in hitting, but doesn't play on defense. In batting order, 8 out of 9 are fielders. Last one to fill in can be either pitcher or designated hitter. It depends on countries' baseball rules. In National League of Major League, pitcher bats. However, in American League of MLB, designated hitter joins the batting order instead of pitcher. Usually pitchers are 8th batter because 8th position is for hitter who is worst on making hits. However, designated hitters are mostly 4th hitter, which is for the hitter with the most power.

For your child to join a baseball club, you'll need to invest in a selection of baseball equipment. Baseball clubs typically offer kits that can make it simpler on parents to get all the necessary accessories simultaneously. Parents should be careful that they will pay premium for this benefit.
