Fox has pulled the plug on Pitch. The network has canceled the baseball drama after one season, co-star Dan Lauria posted a message to fans on his Facebook:
“Pitch is officially no more. Fox, in their infinite, but not so wise wisdom, has decided to cancel Pitch,” he wrote. “I knew the longer they took the less chance we had but I did have renewed hope when Thursday Night Football had been canceled. We would have done better without even having a new time slot. Excuse me, I’m being logical. Pitch, was a great experience, Kevin Falls, [co-creator] Rick Singer and of course Dan Fogelman put together one of the best writing staffs I ever worked with. Our cast was the most professional I ever worked with, not a headache in the bunch. Our staff and crew, the best. I wish everyone a continued great career. Love each and everyone of those involved with Pitch.”
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…
