Is this series based off a true story?

You kidding? I think the world record pitch for a woman is less than 70 mph. Little League boys can pitch faster. This is about as real as "Rookie of the Year."

Nope.

"Singer originally envisioned Pitch as a feature film after being inspired by the U.S. team that won the 1999 Women's World Cup soccer tournament and other major athletic victories. Falls, whose credits include baseball movie Summer Catch, which explored life in the Cape Cod League, attributes strides in women's athletic programs thanks to Title IX and recent success stories including Little League World Series hero Mo'Ne Davis, whom producers have been courting for a role on Pitch."
