bad-ball hitter
In baseball, a batter who tries to hit pitches that are out of the strike zone. A: "What on earth is he swinging at?" B: "He's a bad-ball hitter, it's just how he plays. He'll hit one eventually." Bailey's a bad-ball hitter all right—he went down, got that pitch, and launched it out of the park! How am I supposed to pitch to the best bad-ball hitter in the game? He can crush anything I throw him, whether it's a ball or a strike!
