slugger

Cleanup batter type

A slugger is someone who hits hard—originally a boxer known for powerful punches, now most often a baseball player who hits for power rather than average.

The term emphasizes brute force over finesse: He's not fast, but he's a slugger who can clear the fences.

Informally, a slugger is anyone who fights or competes aggressively.
