• The card's name is based on a pinch hitter, a baseball player who acts as the substitute batter in place of a teammate.
  • This card's Japanese name, "Pinch Hitter Batter" (代打バッター Daida Battā) features the word "batter", which is phonetically similar to the Japanese word for "grasshopper" (バッター Battā).
  • This card's effect further reflects the role of the pinch hitter in the game of baseball, which can be "substituted" with another Insect monster from the hand once it is sent from the player's field to the Graveyard.

• The French name of this card simply omits the space from its English name. Its name in French would be "Pinçon Sauteur".

• This card's OCG/TCG artwork is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 167 (Duelist Duel 108): "Infected!", specifically from the panel showing this monster being Summoned.
