DH

Lineup's batting specialist

DH is an abbreviation with several common uses.

In baseball, it stands for designated hitter—a player who bats in place of the pitcher but doesn't play the field: The DH went three for four with two RBIs.

In online spaces, especially relationship discussions, DH means dear husband or damn husband, depending on context: My DH forgot our anniversary again.
