Fox’s “Pitch” is a new TV show about a young female pitcher in the San Diego Padres baseball organization that gets called up to pitch in the majors, breaking a gender barrier that has existed for well over a century.
The viewing numbers for “Pitch” aren’t great, though, and Fox didn’t do their newest drama any favors by airing it on Thursday nights, but my hope is that it’s just a slow build that keeps this show alive. For me, this is the best sports drama since “Friday Night Lights” – even though, it’s probably the only sports drama since FNL.
