-in baseball, the pitcher is the player who throws the baseball from the pitcher’s mound toward the catcher to begin each play, with the goal of retiring a batter, who attempts to either make contact with the pitched ball or draw a walk-
.
In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the pitcher is assigned the number 1.
The pitcher is often considered the most important defensive player, and as such is situated at the right end of the defensive spectrum.
There are many different types of pitchers, such as the starting pitcher, relief pitcher, middle reliever, lefty specialist, setup man, and closer.
Traditionally, the pitcher also bats.
Starting in 1973 with the American League and spreading to further leagues throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the hitting duties of the pitcher have generally been given over to the position of designated hitter, a cause of some controversy.
(the ‘National League’ in Major League Baseball and the Japanese Central League are among the remaining leagues that have not adopted the ‘designated hitter’ position)
