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.

Whether Pitch eventually knocks it out of the park or strikes out, it paints an intriguing picture of what could be.
September 23, 2016
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.

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.

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.
September 14, 2016
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.
September 19, 2016
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.
September 21, 2016
Pitch is doggedly inspirational. And despite its hackneyed moments, the pilot introduces enough meaty stuff to warrant a wait-and-see response.
September 21, 2016
There's a powerful show in Pitch, but it's not fully realized within its pilot.
