What Is The Definition Of Golden Pitch In Baseball?
1. This term is used exclusively for deciding games in the World Series in which the pitch being thrown could potentially determine the outcome of the game. With a golden pitch, the batter’s hit, out or strikeout would cause his team to win or lose the championship.
