verb (DH's, DHing, DH'd) [no object]
Act as a designated hitter.The news pre-op seemed more likely that Williams would be in center and Giambi would be DHing; does that change anything?...
- Like most regulars, Giambi dislikes DHing, and his productivity has traditionally suffered in the slot (200 OPS points lower from 2000-2002).
- And Nick Johnson's work with the glove will probably convince Giambi that the free agent should take up DHing after all.
