Wikipedia
hitter
In baseball, batting is the act of facing the opposing pitcher and trying to produce offense for one's team. A batter or hitter is a person whose turn it is to face the pitcher. The three main goals of batters are to become a baserunner, to drive runners home or to advance runners along the bases for others to drive home, but the techniques and strategies they use to do so vary. Hitting uses a motion that is virtually unique to baseball and its fellow bat-and-ball sports, one that is rarely used in other sports. Hitting is unique because it involves rotating in the horizontal plane of movement, unlike most sports movements which occur in the vertical plane.

Examples of hitter in a Sentence
He’s one of the better arms in baseball, and then you’re going to see him at the plate same day, too, he’s a superstar pitcher and he’s a superstar hitter.
Carlos Hernandez -LRB- 5-1 -RRB-:
It’s great, i’ve just been working every time and attack every hitter.
I missed by a lot, i was trying to throw a splitter down and I knew I had a base open and obviously a good hitter on deck. I like both matchups, but I just didn’t make the pitch. I left the pitch up in the zone and he did damage.
I respect him as a player, a better player than me, better hitter that’s it. Still 600 hits to catch me hitting in the big leagues.
It's kind of a free change of eye level, the hitter is going to watch it. It is a little ridiculous but it's my way of shutting down right there.
