Hit producer? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bat
'hit producer?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Creature" , "once wielded by 60 [GREIG]" , "Cricketer; mammal" , "Night-flyer" , "Club used in cricket" .)
