Potential World Series-winning baseball pitch
A golden pitch refers to a pitch in a baseball game in which the outcome of the pitch could produce a World Series championship for either team. By definition, a golden pitch can only be thrown in the winner-take-all final game of the World Series (usually Game 7) and only in the bottom half of the ninth inning or a later inning when the road team has the lead, and the home team has at least one runner on base. As of the end of the 2025 baseball season, 49 golden pitches have been thrown, by nine pitchers to 15 batters in nine different World Series: 1912, 1926, 1962, 1972, 1997, 2001, 2014, 2016, and 2025.
