Talented baseball pitcher Ginny Baker immediately rises to fame when she is called up by the San Diego Padres and becomes the first woman in Major League Baseball. She immediately sets in on the task of proving herself to her teammates, starting with team captain and catcher Mike Lawson. The two share an immediate chemistry, putting Mike in the middle of tensions between the beautiful new player and certain teammates who don't appreciate a woman out on the mound. Not all of her fellow Padres are so averse to change, with center fielder Blip Sanders providing support through her journey.

Ann-Derrick Gaillot Bitch Media Unless Pitch can explore sexism, racism, and tokenism headfirst, it will never be as pivotal and profound as it so obviously hopes to be. The pilot shows just how much potential for greatness this show has, and just how many potholes are in its path. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post "Pitch" tells its story in such a full way that it leaves only one obvious question unanswered: What could the second episode possibly be about? Rated: B Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Amber Dowling TheWrap If you're female and you love the game, you may even fist-pump at some point. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Mekeisha Madden Toby Essence For as inspiring and heartwarming as this story is, Pitch works in large part because the Canadian actress is so likeable and believable. Bunbury's Black Girl Magic isn't the only motivation to tune in. Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Ashley Bissette Sumerel Tell-Tale TV Actually, it leaves a lot of things unfinished, but it still manages to be a powerful conclusion to the show's first season. Rated: 3/5 Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Kendra James Cosmopolitan And it certainly helps that the show is good; the writing is strong, and I can already see myself falling down a Ginny/Lawson rabbit hole. Perhaps it really will be "The West Wing in baseball." Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
