The series tells the emotional story of a young pitcher noted for her screwball pitch who becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball, when she is chosen to play for the San Diego Padres.
Paired with Larter's high-powered agent and the usual suspects for this kind of drama, Pitch fleshes out enough interest in its inaugural hour to - like Ginny - win over the skeptics.
Pitch is a very well constructed drama that has the potential to champion a message of what hard work can truly accomplish....If the show is able to maintain that message over the course of its life, we could be looking at the next great sports drama.
Pitch does a lot of things right... especially in the buildup to her first game. Anyone looking forward to relishing the image of a woman in uniform standing tall on a mound for a professional baseball game should get goosebumps when she does.
Pitch isn't afraid to lean into the tear-jerking tropes of its genre, or to embrace the Cinderella narrative that SportsCenter hosts love so much. But its main appeal lies in its heroine Ginny.
Pitch is a well-written, entertaining series with a unique, timely premise, a charismatic star, and an interesting exploration of the idea that women can (and should) be given equal opportunities.
I wish this show were better, and less superficial, especially at a moment when another woman may be making headway in another male-dominated institution: the presidency.
