Oh, dude, in Major League Baseball (MLB), the American League is where you'll find the designated hitter (DH) rule. So, like, pitchers in the American League can take a break from swinging the bat and let someone else do the hitting for them. It's like having a designated hitter is their version of ordering takeout instead of cooking - why bother when someone else can do it for you, right?

What is a designated hitter in baseball?
In the MLB, the American league games have a Designated Hitter that hits for the pitcher. It is also liek tht in college and maybe high school. In the MLB if the American league team plays an inter-league game at there stadium vs a National League team at home, the designated hitter rule is in effect. But if the American league team plays away vs the national league team, the DH is not in effect. In grade school baseball, the DH can hit for any player, even a position player. For example, on the Boston Red Sox, their common designated hitter is David Ortiz.
What is the significance of the designated hitter rule in MLB and how does it impact the strategy of teams during games?
The designated hitter rule in MLB allows a player to bat in place of the pitcher. This impacts the strategy of teams by giving them the option to have a stronger hitter in the lineup without sacrificing the pitcher's spot. It adds a layer of strategy in deciding when to use the designated hitter and how it can affect the game's outcome.

A bunch. In fact, the vast majority of major league pitchers have never thrown a no-hitter in major league baseball. Many more have thrown no-hitters in high school or college ball.
A good-hitting pitcher bats for the shortstop. When his team takes the field the pitcher goes to the mound and a new shortstop enters the game. Does the new shortstop bat in the old shortstop's spot?
No, the pitcher would bat in the shortstop's spot and the shortstop would bat in the pitcher's/designated hitter's spot. According to MLB rule (6.10b), once a player bats for any player in the batting order and then enters the game as the pitcher, the designated hitter is no longer in effect.
