I get asked this a lot but, a better question is what is a pitch? It's the British translation of On and Off the Field. A sports field commonly reffered to inI the U.S. Although it has gained popularity here in the U.S. to say "On & Off The Pitch". In a sentence it would be like saying "Yooo, he's a baller on & off the pitch!". It's ususally a compliment that is coming after the saying. onandoffthepitch.com
