Successful pitchers

Successful pitchers tend to be categorised by catchers as one of three types.

• The showrunner comes off as a professional who combines creative inspiration with production know-how.
• The artist appears to be unpolished and prefer the world of ideas to happen daily.
• The neophyte seems young, inexperienced, and naive.

The showrunner involves the audience in the creative process by deliberately levelling the power differential, the artist inverts the differential, and the neophytes exploit it. They all get the catchers to view themselves as creative collaborators.
