A DH is a designated hitter in Baseball. The American League uses DH's to bat in the lineup so that the pitchers do not need to actually bat. In the National League there are no DH's and the pitchers must bat just like the other position players.

DH stands for Designated Hitter. The Designated hitter does not play on the field defensively and is usually the strongest hitter on the team - such as David Ortiz and Frank Thomas. The national league teams do not have a DH

Dh stands for designated hitter which simply is a person who takes the place a fielder when batting. A designated hitter does play in the field and most of the time are substituted for pitchers.

DH is for designated hitter. That is a person who will bat in place of a defensive play. Softball typically uses a flex player instead. Also stands for doubleheader. which is 2 games, 1 after the other.
