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?
I love this show didn’t watch at first but went back and watch all one of the best
I love this show! It’s about time we get to see a woman in Major League baseball! Please don’t cancel it! It’s one of the best shows on television!
Love the show. Hope it’s renewed
I loved this show, one of the few I made sure not to miss last year on Fox. I’m a senior citizen who grew up loving the game of baseball, so the premise of the show – a woman player on a major league team – was one that delighted me. I really hope you bring it and her back this year.
We recorded the first season of Pitch, and just finished binge watching it last night. One of the more worthwhile shows on TV! Do the right thing; let’s have a second season!
LOVE this show!!! Please renew!!!
Love this show. Please renew
I love this show! Waiting for new episodes!
I too am not a baseball fan. I tuned in to see Mark Consuelos and I fell in love with it. I’m surprised no TV show has taken on the behind the scenes drama in baseball before. The fact that Ginny is a woman is almost secondary now. I can’t wait for it to come back…
I am not a fan of baseball but I am a fan of Pitch, this show must continue. The Padres need to win the World Series and they need to do it with Ginny Baker.
Please renew this series. It is currently my favorite show! Good writing and acting.
My Mother and I enjoy watching Pitch we’ve watched it after Thursday night Football. We live in Hawaii so it’s on in a good time slot. Please continue the show.
Please don’t cancel Pitch. It’s a dishonor to leave us hanging:(
Please don’t cancel Pitch. I enjoy this show. As a grandmother, it helped me to explain to my grandchildren that with hard word and determination, you can make and achieve your goals in life. There are few tv shows that really gives this aspiration to young people. I can hardly wait for the next season; please don’t disappoint.
Every girl has a dream of growing up to be someone special. The character of “Ginny Baker” is an inspiration for so many young girls that aspire to be athletes. This series shows that the bar is never to high for any little girl to attain. She can be whatever she wants to be despite the obstacles she may face in life. I LOVE this show. Actors & Actresses are point on! Some may feel it’s unrealistic…a woman playing in the Major Leagues? They said a woman couldn’t be an Army Ranger either. After the release of G.I. Jane, many… Read more »
