Pitch was one of the most anticipated shows this season, but Fox gave it a crappy timeslot after the failing Rosewood and against Thursday Night Football. Obviously, it had a problem finding an audience but not a loyal fan base. Sadly, us fans got some bad news from the show’s creator
Dan Fogelman yesterday who Tweeted, “I was informed today that #Pitch won’t be getting a 2nd season on Fox. Obviously we’re all crushed – thank you to our amazing fans. And thank you to our incredible cast & crew. Loved every minute. No way around it: we took a bad hop grounder to the face today.” Then he added, “All that said: this team put something original and high quality on TV and should be very proud of it – I certainly am of them #Pitch”
Kylie Bunbury, who played the first professional female baseball player, also took to social media to talk about the cancellation. She said, “My heart is heavy. 💔 Pitch will not be returning. I don’t have some eloquently thought out caption, because I’m still processing it all. Ginny Baker has profoundly changed my life and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to play a role that resonated with so many people.
“I wasn’t ready to let go of Ginny, but more than anything I wasn’t ready to let go of my Pitch family- the cast, crew, creators and writers, thank you for the magic.
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!- Thank you to all of the fans who took the journey with us! Your support and love for the show has always moved us deeply! I love you all. ❤️
Ginny Baker out ✌🏽⚾️”
We are grateful for the time we had with the show. Hopefully, one of the streaming sites will consider picking it up. I think it can find an audience, it just needs someone to believe in it like the Major League believed in Ginny Baker.
