Designated Hitter

Question
In Men's slowpitch softball, can a DH be used for a position player?  Or do all position players have to be in the batting lineup?

Answer
Thanks for the question!

In softball, there is no such thing as a DH.  Fast Pitch uses the DP/Flex, while slow pitch uses the Extra Hitter or EH.  Basically all an EH is you can bat 11 players while fielding 10.  They can move around and sub in and out defensively as little or as often as you like.  In slow pitch all players in the lineup must bat.

I hope this helps answer your question, if not please reply!
