pitching
Selling your idea
Pitching covers the act of throwing or the quality of being angled.
In baseball, pitching is the art of throwing the ball to the batter: Her pitching has improved this season.
A ship pitching rocks fore and aft in rough seas.
A roof's pitching describes its slope.
In business, pitching means making a persuasive presentation: He spent the afternoon pitching investors.
To be pitching in is to help with a shared task.
