worp, pitch

(in baseball) the act of throwing the ball towards the batter in order to start the game

What is a "pitch"?

A pitch in baseball or softball is when the pitcher throws the ball to the batter, trying to get them out or make them miss. The pitcher stands on the mound and delivers the ball toward home plate, aiming to either get the batter to swing and miss or to have the ball land in a spot called the strike zone, where it is difficult to hit. The batter then decides whether to swing at the pitch. Pitches can vary in speed, movement, and style, and how the batter reacts determines the outcome of the play.

toonhoogte, geluidstoet

the degree of highness or lowness of a tone that is determined by the frequency of waves producing it

What is "pitch"?

Pitch refers to the degree of highness or lowness of a sound, which is determined by the frequency of the sound waves that produce it. Higher frequencies result in higher pitches, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches. For example, a whistle has a high pitch due to its rapid vibrations, whereas a bass drum produces a low pitch because of slower vibrations. Pitch plays a crucial role in music and language, as it helps convey meaning, emotion, and musical notes, contributing to the overall experience of sound.

What is "pitch"?

Pitch refers to how high or low a musical note sounds. It is determined by the frequency of the sound waves produced; higher frequencies result in higher pitches, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches. Pitch is what allows musicians to differentiate between notes and create melodies, harmonies, and chords. It is usually indicated by the note's position on the staff and its relationship to other notes.
