Answer:
The pitcher is kind of anxious and with a lot of anticipation about winning, he's not so sure about throwing the right pitch, he wants to win but deeply somehow he feels the batter is better than him.
Therefore the best answer is the last one:
<em>"The pitcher thinks that the batter is much better than he is."</em>
