Functionality

Any object thrown by the bearer flies in a perfectly straight line, unaffected by gravity, in the direction it was thrown in. This includes Bombs from pressing the Bomb button, as well as Eggplants spawned and thrown with a certain endgame item.

Even setting down a bomb by pressing the bomb button while crouched is considered a type of throw, and as such the Pitcher's Mitt changes how bombs are set down. Bombs normally slide about one tile away from the Spelunker, but with the Pitcher's Mitt, they slide about half a tile away instead. Players setting down bombs in precise ways should consider how the Pitcher's Mitt can change strategies before potentially wasting bombs.

Attempting to throw the Arrow of Light with a Pitcher's Mitt stuns the player and knocks them backwards, the arrow itself flying in a normal arc affected by gravity. The arrow can be thrown downward safely, however.

Catching

Automatically catching a rock flying through Cosmic Ocean by using a Pitcher's Mitt.

With Pitcher's Mitt, rocks and skulls flying through the air are automatically caught by the user instead of getting hit by them. This does not work if the wearer's hands are already occupied, and only applies to rocks and skulls. Other items, such as Eggplants, Pots, and Die cannot be caught and will damage the Spelunker. Bone Drop skulls are considered a different projectile than a thrown skull internally, and cannot be caught.
