What do you call a baseball player who throws tantrums?

A pitcher fit!

Why This Joke Works

"Pitcher fit" inverts the phrase "pitching a fit" (throwing a tantrum) while calling out the player's position — a pitcher who pitches fits. The reversal is clean: the player throws tantrums the same way they throw pitches, professionally and repeatedly.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say it like it's an official baseball designation — as if "pitcher fit" were an actual roster classification in the MLB rulebook.

Perfect for:

  • When a pitcher argues with the umpire on the mound and gets ejected
  • Little League when a kid loses it after giving up a hit
  • A baseball sports bar when someone's team's pitcher is imploding emotionally on the mound
