What is a designated hitter in baseball?
In the MLB, the American league games have a Designated Hitter that hits for the pitcher. It is also liek tht in college and maybe high school. In the MLB if the American league team plays an inter-league game at there stadium vs a National League team at home, the designated hitter rule is in effect. But if the American league team plays away vs the national league team, the DH is not in effect.
In grade school baseball, the DH can hit for any player, even a position player.
For example, on the Boston Red Sox, their common designated hitter is David Ortiz.

Why is the pitcher considered the most important defensive player on the team in baseball?
The pitcher in baseball at all levels of the game is vital to the defensive of the team. This holds true for youth baseball, college and professional baseball as well.
Generally speaking the pitcher is the most important defensive player because he is involved with every single play in the inning pitched. The same is true for the team catcher, however, the pitcher must throw his pitch in a manner that prevents a batter from getting on base. If a pitcher cannot make most batters draw a strike or have the batter hit the ball to one of his teammates then the defense is in trouble.
Ichiro Suzuki played in 35 games at left field for the New York Yankees in 2012, starting in 26 of them. He played for a total of 708 outs, equivalent to 26.22 9-inning games.

One. To determine how many games behind a team is from first place:
1) Subtract the number of wins the team not in first place has from the number of wins the first place team has.
2) Subtract the number of losses the first place team has from the number of losses the team not in first place has.
3) Add the numbers you get from 1) and 2) and divide by 2.
For Example:
Team A has 61 wins and 35 losses
Team B has 58 wins and 36 losses
Using the explanation above you would do the following equasion:
1) 61 - 58 = 3
2) 36 - 35 = 1
3) (3 + 1) / 2 = 2 .........Team B is 2 games behind Team A
If Team A loses and Team B wins:
Team A has 61 wins and 36 losses
Team B has 59 wins and 36 losses
1) 61 - 59 = 2
2) 36 - 36 = 0
3) (2 + 0) / 2 = 1 ..........Team B is 1 game behind Team B
Who is rated as the number one baseball player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
there is no possible way to ever rank players of that status, as far as deciding who was the best of all time. There is no one player who leads every category. there is a numerical ranking system, in which the top ten players of each hitting category are compared and receive 10 points for being in first, 9 for second and so on...; this system yields hank aaron as the leader, however this system leaves out several large aspects of the game, such as fielding, and the player type. The most practical way to do it is to divide it into categories such as best pure hitter, best, power hitter, best defender, and so on. even with this system there will be numerous conflicts and impossible decisions. so far this is only hitters, and if you are talking about best player, then you would have to also take into account pitchers. There is no way to measure hitting against pitching; 300 wins against 3000 hits. to make your brain hurt even more take into account all of the different eras: the shadow ball era, the steroid era. then there is the issue of the negro leagues. josh Gibson hit approximately 927 homeruns. he didn't even get a shot in the majors. who knows how many he would have had. the overall answer is pretty simple: there is not, and never will be, a way to establish who the best baseball player of all time is, simply because there isn't one.
