batter's

At the plate

Batter's is the possessive form of batter—typically a baseball or cricket player at bat.

It usually appears before nouns describing things belonging to or associated with the batter: batter's box, batter's eye, batter's helmet.

The batter's box is the marked area where a batter stands; a batter's eye is a dark backdrop beyond center field that helps batters see the pitch.
