Hi, That depends on what your definition of a sentence is. Personally, I'd say it's a very, very casual form of the sentence, 'This is a hard pitch'. Clive

"Hard pitch, this."

Is this in the context of sports, or salesmanship?

If you remove the comma, it could be an imperative sentence, with a compound verb and no subject.

Judging from my early movie experiences, the use with the comma is British. "Tough luck, that."
