The rule allows teams to have one player, known as the designated hitter (abbreviated DH), to bat in place of the pitcher. Since 1973, most collegiate, amateur, and professional leagues have adopted the rule or some variant.
The team then forfeits its right to a designated hitter. The DH spot in the lineup is also static, meaning that the DH must always hit in the same position in the batting order. The designated hitter position has been used exclusively in the MLB American League since 1973.
