TV show description:
This dramatic series follows the inspirational story of a young pitcher who becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball.
A beautiful, tough and gifted athlete, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) is vaulted into instant fame when she’s called up by the San Diego Padres to make her Major League debut. Like any rookie, Ginny must prove herself to her teammates.
Foremost among them is Mike Lawson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), the team’s ruggedly handsome star catcher. There’s instant chemistry between them, although neither dares to admit it. After all, Mike is captain of the team and a few of his players don’t even want Ginny on the field. One of the players watching Ginny’s back is center fielder Blip Sanders (Mo McRae), an old friend from the minor leagues.
Guiding Ginny is her agent and confidante, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter). Amelia saw Ginny’s star potential early on and left her previous job as a Hollywood publicist to concentrate on the young phenom.
Although she’s been groomed for this moment by her demanding father, Bill Baker (Michael Beach), the end of Ginny’s improbable journey is the beginning of an almost impossible one. She’s representing her gender as she embarks on a successful baseball career under the glare of the white-hot media spotlight.
Episode #10 — Don’t Say It
Ross warns the Padres that Ginny is dangerously close to her pitching limit, but management is reluctant to end her season. Meanwhile, Amelia confronts Will about money that has gone missing from the restaurant fund.
First aired: December 8, 2016
What do you think? Do you like the Pitch TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
This was a really good show. Pity.
Please reconsider this is a great show. Maybe if it was on a different night or time it would do better. I enjoyed this so much. I’d tell people they’d watch and like, please reconsider.
i don’t even watch baseball but i love this show. please renew for a second season
I’m so sorry you saw fit to end this show. Pitch was a good clean show with a good story line and has actors who are fresh. This was a show which could have been viewed by all family members. Enough already with “MDR” (murder, drugs and robbing). We get enough of these shows on TV Live at 6, 10 and 11. Keep up the clean programming. Bring Pitch by to the Fall Season.
Love love love Pitch, Please renew. Good family show. Stop with all the murder, bad language and too much sex for families. Give Pitch a chance.
Thank you.
I love(d) Pitch, and enjoyed seeing it every week. I’ve really been looking forward to the second season, and am so disappointed that it’s been cancelled. NO! I have bonded with these characters!
Well, I guess FOX thinks there’s no place for women in baseball.
I loved Pitch and really hoped it would be renewed.
I love this show. It’s a great family show that can be enjoyed by all. I think Fox is crazy to cancel it. It’s one of the few shows that doesn’t have a lot of violence
The ratings were awful. The show wasn’t good. FOX made the right decision. The show was promoted plenty. It didn’t happen. Maybe somebody will pick it up.
Do like anything? It was worth watching. People can handle women playing a men’s sport.
There are plenty of shows I like. Do you want a list? How about The Walking Dead, Into The Badlands, Colony, Animal Kingdom, Queen of the South. There are a few. Was Pitch worth watching? The ratings say NO, because they kept going DOWN. Did anybody pick it up? It was out there for months. Obviously, not enough people cared. HULU could have picked it up. FOX is part of HULU. They didn’t.
Why!? Why!? Do you keep starting awesome shows and then you pull them from us. We love this Pitch show me and my daughter’s we love this show why take it away!? BRING IT BACK NOW!!! BRING IT BACK NOW!!
I am sad and disappointed. This show was very good and I have been anxious waiting on season two to find out that it isn’t returning… You all NEVER give a show a chance anymore… You all had plenty of great story lines to work with… Unbelievable… I think that you all have made a huge mistake with cancelling this show.
I’m so very sad-please reconsider and bring it back… our family watched this show together every week – both of my boys are baseball players and all of the baseball families in our league loved this show..
I’m very disappointed that this show has been cancelled. It was a great concept. Please reconsider, the powers that be at Fox!
I’m so sad it isn’t coming back it was about something real for once it was a great show and I really loved season 1 I’m sad to hear this news.
Please Fox don’t cancel this amazing show, my husband & I looked forward to it every week…
