Pitch S1 Monday, 3 October at 21:00 CAT
Repeats Wednesday, at 22:00 CAT
From executive producers
Dan Fogelman (Cars, Crazy, Stupid, Love) and Rick Singer (Younger),
PITCH is the dramatic and inspirational story of a young pitcher who
becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball. A beautiful,
tough and gifted athlete, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury, Under the Dome) is
vaulted into instant fame when she’s called up by the San Diego Padres
to make her Major League debut.
Like any rookie, Ginny must
prove herself to her teammates. Foremost among them is Mike Lawson
(Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Franklin & Bash, NYPD Blue), the team’s
ruggedly handsome star catcher. There’s instant chemistry between them,
although neither dares to admit it. After all, Mike is captain of the
team and a few of his players don’t even want Ginny on the field. One of
the players watching Ginny’s back is centre fielder Blip Sanders (Mo
McRae, Sons of Anarchy), an old friend from the minor leagues, and his
wife Evelyn (Meagan Holder, You Again, Bring it On: Fight to the
Finish).
Guiding her is her
agent/confidante, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter, Legends, Heroes). Amelia
saw Ginny’s star potential early on and left her previous job as a
Hollywood publicist to concentrate on the young phenom, bringing along
her young assistant Eliot (Tim Jo, The Neighbors). Although groomed for
this moment by her demanding father, Bill Baker (guest star Michael
Beach, Sons of Anarchy), the end of Ginny’s improbable journey is the
beginning of an almost impossible one: representing her gender as she
embarks on a successful baseball career under the glare of the white-hot
media spotlight.
The team’s manager, Al
Luongo (Dan Lauria, The Wonder Years, Sullivan and Sons) and general
manager Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos, All My Children) bicker over
whether Ginny’s presence on the field is in the team’s best interests.
Playing in the major
leagues is a goal hard enough for anyone to achieve – except this player
is also a woman, who happens to be the most important historical figure
in sports since Jackie Robinson. This season, Ginny Baker will be the
other woman trying to break into one of the oldest and most exclusive
men’s clubs in the country.
