hander

Person who passes

A hander is someone who hands something over or delivers it.

The word appears almost exclusively in compounds indicating which hand is dominant or preferred: a right-hander throws with the right hand, a left-hander with the left.

In cricket and baseball, these terms describe both the player and the style of play.
