Shows Like "Ted Lasso": "Pitch"

"Ted Lasso"'s story of an outsider being brought into a high-profile role with sky-high stakes also applies to "Pitch," a short-lived but much-loved baseball drama. Ginny Baker is the first woman player in Major League Baseball, and the show follows her struggles with her teammates, fans, the higher-ups of baseball, and more. There's all the behind-the-scenes manoeuvering and high-stakes competition you love but with more of a dramatic style. As a bonus, Mark-Paul Gosselaar plays a proto-Roy Kent, the grumpy but secretly awesome veteran player who resists change and knows his career is nearing its end but develops a grudging admiration for Ginny.
