Is Pitch sticking around for a second inning? Recently, star Mark-Paul Gosselaar spoke to TVLine about the future of the FOX TV series.
The sports drama follows Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury), the first woman to play for a Major League Baseball team. The cast also includes Ali Larter, Mark Consuelo, Dan Lauria, Mo McRae, Meagan Holder, and Tim Jo.
In the interview, Gosselaar said he’s “absolutely” certain there will be a second season of Pitch, despite its low ratings and the fact that FOX has not ordered additional episodes. Currently, the freshman series is averaging .91 in the 18-49 demo and 3.322 million viewers:
Absolutely. I’m not even entertaining the thought that we won’t come back. Mo [McRae] and Kylie [Bunbury] and myself, we’ve all said that we’ll give our bodies about a month break before we go into our preseason routine and begin training again for next season.”
The season one finale of Pitch airs on December 8th.
What do you think? Do you watch Pitch? Do you want a second season?
Like the show
Finally a well acted, engaging, entertaining and original series. Not to mention with a strong female lead character. Please make Pitch renewed for at least a second season! Ratings may be lower but social media buzz and following is strong. Just needs a bit of time to get its feet wet.
Love this show! Gives the baseball fan an inside look from the players perspective. Can’t wait for a new season love it love it love it
I love the show it gives you a lot to think about. Also it has plenty of heart
I love it. It is my favorite show this season.
Love the show!
Love the show. Really hope it comes back. Thursday is the toughest night in TV. Give it a break!
Wednesday is the toughest night of television. The fact that you don’t know this speaks volumes about you. The show should be cancelled. The ratings are lousy. The fact that the ratings don’t go up tells you that the show isn’t good.
Why do you think Wednesday is the toughest night? Thursday’s have been the most competitive night for years. Remember Must See TV? Look at what the other networks are airing tonight. The networks are all trying to get as many viewers as possible because it’s the big night for advertising. The studios all want ad time to push their new movies and stores want to advertise their weekend sales. “The fact that you don’t know this…”
Yes I watch it sndI like it a lot. So give it another season
I love this show and I truly hope there is a Season 2. I am a baseball fan, but I don’t get too caught up in whether or not every aspect is realistic. I love the characters and their relationships. I will be disappointed if Pitch doesn’t return!
I like Pitch; but it’s unrealistic. I’m not talking about a girl playing in the major leagues. I’m talking about the situations and interactions. In reality, she would have played with most of the younger guys on the team( in Lake Elsinore, San Antonio or El Paso). Not only that but she’d know half the Dodgers, too. The Trevor situation couldn’t have happened- if he had a game in Midland, she would have been at her own game, in another part of Texas, Arkansas or Missouri. I actually think it’s a better viewing experience for non baseball fans.
I love that show I think it should most definitely get another season
Definitely a keeper!
People are not watching it because it breaks tradition and has a female in a man only sport world. Tired of the PC generation thinking everything is equal.
Too bad for the good actors in it.
LOVE it! It’s a change from what we normally see. They MUST change the night of viewing! Too much strong competition for this type of a show. Fox should look into it.
I have really enjoyed Pitch ! I would be disappointed if it did not continue. I am NOT a Baseball fan, so this has been a pleasant a pleasant surprise to me.
same with me. never even watched baseball. there’s no baseball teams in my country but i simply love this show. keep it coming!
