Glenn Garvin

Sep 21, 2016

Neither didactic nor smirky, it's a compelling study not only in character but the frenetic nature of celebrity media culture. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Sep 14, 2016

Occasionally the dialogue veers toward the kind of TV patter that has a slightly contrived sheen, but so much of the show steers clear of unnecessary exposition that it usually has a streamlined feel, and much of what occurs in the first hour simply flies by. Read full review

Ellen Gray

The pilot about a woman pitcher (Kylie Bunbury) who gets called up to the San Diego Padres is a winning one, and as much about coping with overnight fame and the weight of other people's dreams as it is about baseball. Read full review

Rob Lowman

For the most part, Pitch is an engaging drama about a woman negotiating a man's world with the added glitz of big-time sports. Bunbury has the charisma needed for the role. Read full review

The dialogue is occasionally overripe (“I’ve been ready my whole life”; “You do this for you!”) but for the most part modestly crisp. Read full review

The first [strike] is that Pitch is virtually surprise-free, save for a twist that feels more like a gimmick, and a dead-end one at that. The other is that while the writers no doubt have more stories to tell, you can't help wondering whether they've already told the most interesting one. Read full review

Pitch feels phony from the get-go. The characters are caricatures. The premise is ludicrous. And the Big Plot Twist is manipulative, derivative and gob-smackingly stupid. Read full review

It's a great show, good characters, funny jokes, plot twists and an incredible baseball athmosphere, that suits the diehard baseball fan.
So far, so very good!

I like the plot and the characters. The writing is good and it was very interesting to find out her dad wasn't at her first game. I'm definitely in for the season!!!

I was not expecting very much from a show around the world of baseball... but three episodes in, and this show has enough layers, depth, surprises and twists to draw me in and keep me guessing & wanting more.

This show grabbed me from the start because of its unique premise and its realism. It's plausible that a very talented woman could work her way into the MLB, so it's interesting to see how that might play out. The writing is good and touches on most of the issues that would likely arise. TheThis show grabbed me from the start because of its unique premise and its realism. It's plausible that a very talented woman could work her way into the MLB, so it's interesting to see how that might play out. The writing is good and touches on most of the issues that would likely arise. The acting is solid, especially Kylie Bunbury as Ginny Baker. The final twist was a little cheesy. But overall a compelling first episode that makes me want to follow the main character's nascent career and see her do well.… Expand

Great first episode with a twist that I definitely did not see coming. Kylie Bunbury is fantastic as the lead. Mark-Paul Gosselaar is great as well. I'm definitely in for the entire season.

terrible, unless your brainwashed by the feminist propaganda coming from hollywood and the regressive left. Why must everything on T.V. be such sh*t?
