twirler
Halftime band performer
A twirler is someone who twirls something, most often a baton twirler—a performer who spins and tosses a baton in parades or at sporting events.
In baseball slang, a twirler is a pitcher, from the spinning motion of the arm during delivery: The team's starting twirler gave up only two hits.
