Baseball's throwing specialists
Hurlers is the plural of hurler—one who hurls or throws.
Most often it refers to baseball pitchers: The team's hurlers struggled in the early innings.
In Ireland, hurlers are players of hurling, a fast-paced field sport played with wooden sticks and a ball.
Hurler can also describe someone prone to vomiting, though this use is informal.
