A pinch runner is a substitute for a runner that is already on base. If player A is on second base and the manager decides to replace player A with player B, player B would be called a pinch runner.

In Baseball the PH is a substitute batter; usually for a short time.

Generally, the term refers to anyone who can step in for someone else at work.

In baseball, a pinch hitter (PH) is a substitute batter. Once there is a substitute the player that came out may not come back in for the rest of the game.
