Ignoring where the batter ("
went to first") and catcher were positioned, etc.; the NCAA and NFHS rule books define a pitch as "... being delivered with a legal
underhand motion" and the other books have no definition. Throwing the ball to the catcher is therefore not necessarily a pitch, especially when it is an obvious misunderstanding and not a "gotcha".
