A "pitch" is the throw of a Baseball from the pitcher to the catcher, usually with the intent of avoiding having the ball hit by the batter (who is of the opposing team). The batter stands to either side of home plate, bearing a bat (an elongated stick of wood or aluminum). The batter will try to hit the ball into the field of play when it is thrown toward him by the pitcher. If he does not try to hit it, or misses, the ball will be caught by the catcher. Depending on whether the ball passes through a specified area ("the strike zone"), the batter will be ruled with either a "strike" (he could have hit it) or a "ball" (it was outside the zone and unlikely to be hit).

A pinch hitter is a hitter that is asked to bat for someone else. For instance, some players are better known for their defense, so if they come to bat in an important offensive situation the manager may choose to use a pinch hitter who is better known for his offense.
It is a player that comes through when the team needs him to produce a big hit. It is usually late in the game, or when the team is losing or tied. If he is successful in the majority of those at-bats during his career, he will become known as a player that can hit in the clutch.
