Meaning of 'Pitch'
Hi, I was reading Huffpost and found these 2 consecutive paragraphs.
Can someone help me understand the meanings of 'pitch' in these 2 different paragraph?
First one seems to mean 'start', 'launch', but I am not very sure. I don't know what the 2nd paragraph pitch means.
Thank you!!

In Kander’s telling, Mandel called him up out of the blue a decade or so ago to pitch a project. It made sense why. The two men had similar profiles: Jewish combat veterans in their early 30s. New statewide officeholders in the Midwest. Rising stars in their respective parties — Kander as a Democrat and Mandel as a Republican.
That was the pitch. Mandel told Kander he wanted to collaborate on something like a cable news segment or show, as opposing “moderates” from the Heartland.
