Who is a "pitcher"?

A pitcher is a player in baseball or softball who throws the ball to the batter from the pitcher's mound. Their main job is to try to get the batter out by throwing the ball in a way that makes it hard to hit. Pitchers use various types of pitches, like fastballs or curveballs, to confuse the batter and make it difficult to score. They must be accurate, strong, and able to throw with different speeds and spins. Pitchers also need to stay focused and read the batter’s movements to help their team defend against scoring.
