I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chap a bouncer might hit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'superhero grabs small' is the wordplay.
'superhero' becomes 'Batman' (DC superhero).
'grabs' indicates putting letters inside.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'batman' placed around 's' is 'BATSMAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for batsman that I've seen before include "He's either in or he's out!" , "Hitting ballplayer" , "Cricketer at the crease" , "Grace, for example" , "Player at crease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
