mlb_20001128_holtzman_cols.jsp A contact hitter with a short stroke, Hansen's seven pinch home runs broke the previous mark of six which had stood for more than a half century, set in 1932 by reserve outfielder Johnny Frederick of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Johnny Mize, a part-time first baseman and pinch swinger with the Yankees when they won five consecutive pennants, 1949 through '53, registered an opposite opinion and insisted a pinch-hitter has the advantage because he gets better pitches to hit. Mota, who insists he never took a third strike as a pinch batter, had an 18-year playing career, mostly with the Dodgers, and holds the lifetime record for the most pinch hits, 150. www.mlb.com /NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_20001128_holtzman_cols.jsp   (1158 words)

Stats Geek: Abraham Nunez should be benched as a pinch-hitter Take away his pinch-hit appearances the past three seasons and Nunez is no longer a.254 hitter, he's a.268 hitter with a glove. Well, Nunez is a left-handed hitter (who pretends he can also bat right-handed, but don't believe him.) And one of the reasons Nunez gets up so much is he's not that good. Stynes is a right-handed hitter who isn't hitting anyone most of the time. www.post-gazette.com /pg/04188/342249.stm   (652 words)

Softball: Pinch hitter plays vital role in softball’s win over Georgia The seldom-used pinch hitter hadn't received much playing time for the UCLA softball team, entering Saturday with only one hit in eight at-bats for the year. Because UCLA coach Sue Enquist seldom uses more than one pinch hitter in a game, Peterson rarely found opportunities to be put into the game. Peterson was given her opportunity in the sixth inning of Game 2 of the NCAA Super Regionals on Saturday against Georgia, when she was called on to pinch hit with the game tied at 4-4 and a runner on second base. www.dailybruin.ucla.edu /news/articles.asp?id=33585   (593 words)

Thrill for Hill He's baseball's all-time pinch-hit leader with 193 hits and has a.260 lifetime average as a pinch-hitter. He's a guy who was a two-time All-American at Miami and a.295 hitter in the minor leagues but who at age 26 last year -- his first full season in the major leagues -- might have been forever stuck with the tag "Role Guy." He's a guy whom the Cubs decided wasn't going to be all that and wound up in a trade with the Pirates in 2003 that will go down as one of the Pirates' largest giveaways -- the Aramis Ramirez/Kenny Lofton sell-off. www.post-gazette.com /pg/05074/471572.stm   (848 words)

Baton Rouge Bar Association "Pinch hitter" is a baseball term which is often used interchangeable with "substitute." In baseball, a pinch hitter is usually a power hitter who bats for a less effective batter, such as the pitcher. If you were substituted because of your expertise, you are indeed a "pinch hitter." If, however, you are there because you are at the bottom of the letterhead and no one else wanted to go to Chalmette, "second stringer reliever" might be a more appropriate term. If you substitute for another attorney in a hearing and tell the court you are "pinch hitting," the judge many expect you to perform better than the person you are replacing. www.brba.org /articleview.cfm?id=239   (141 words)

COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION-MLB Rule 6.10(b) The DH Rule It is true, according to James' research, that the overall number of bunts and use of pinch hitters decreased once the DH Rule was imposed. Once a pinch hitter bats for any player in the batting order and then enters the game to pitch, this move shall terminate the Designated Hitter role for the remainder of the game. The Designated Hitter may be used defensively, continuing to bat in the same position in the batting order, but the pitcher must then bat in the place of the substituted defensive player, unless more than one substitution is made, and the manager then must designate their spots in the batting order. www.cosmicbaseball.com /dhrule.html   (1193 words)

The Pinch Hitter The Twins counter with nine 10-or-more HR hitters of their own, but Corey Koskie's 25 to lead the club pale in comparison to Yankee leaders Gary Sheffield and Alex Rodriguez's 36. Something about his hitting has me thinking HR sometime in the series, perhaps because I feel people look at him as more of a singles hitter (which could be justified as 50 of his 170 hits went for extra bases). So, as he has returned from injuries this year, it will be interesting to see which Mussina appears on the Stadium mound tonight--the one who treated the Twins like a slum lord over his tenants or the once-valiant knight who now has obvious holes in his suit of armor. pinchhitter.blogspot.com   (3261 words)
