Pitcher

From NABA

A pitcher refers to a certain player on the field in the game of baseball. A pitcher plays on a mound, and his job is to throw the baseball to a batter with the idea of getting a batter out. The pitcher attempts to throw strikes, or induce an in-play out from the batter he is facing. Pitchers nowadays can often throw over 100 miles an hour, and have a plethora of different pitches and styles designed to fool or entice a batter into or into not swinging.
