“The all-new FOX Series, PITCH, tells the emotional story of GINNY BAKER who became the first woman to play Major League Baseball.”
Guys I can’t tell you how excited I am for Pitch. Ever since I first heard about it I’ve been waiting for the pilot and here it is! It stars Kylie Bunbury as Ginny and is in affiliation with Major League Baseball, as in made with their help and advice. Here’s a good article in THR about how onboard MLB was with the creation of this show.
Anyway this is a sports show about a black woman on a major network and I’m SO FREAKING EXCITED. Go watch the trailer and leave a like so the network knows that people are interested and watching.

Do yourself a huge favor and don’t read any of the comments on youtube. But do watch that trailer. I had low expectations (because Fox, they make the worst decisions, I’d hate to get attached), but now I’m super stoked for this show. And aside from the premise which is already cool and the lead who looks fucking awesome, I think the thing that impressed me most is how many characters they show just in this trailer being really supportive of her. Like MALE characters showing SUPPORT and COMPASSION toward a female character. FEMALE characters with supportive FEMALE friendships. I am delighted. Just the commercial for this show passes the Bechdel test, which means it’s starting out on better footing than like 90% of our media these days. I’m definitely planning to watch.
