There are a lot of different views on tagging and correctness. Some common views I have seen:

* What is in the wiki is law.
* What renders in (pick your renderer) is law
* Try to follow the data that exists
* Anything goes

The wiki answer to your question (which apply to pitch and which is sport):

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Pitch

doesn't list pitch:baseball which I believe supports the leisure:pitch,sport:baseball model. (pitch is actually a value, not a key)

If you look at the data (many sources such as OSMDoc and http://www.gamesforlittletimmy.com/TagStats_100811.txt.gz), sport = <value> is common:

Total, nodes, ways, relations 1 sport = soccer ( 41975, 7748, 34209, 18) 2 sport = tennis ( 28917, 2962, 25932, 23) 3 sport = multi ( 12466, 2036, 10407, 23) 4 sport = swimming ( 11921, 4829, 7080, 12) 5 sport = baseball ( 8454, 1014, 7432, 8)

And you would be one of the first people to use pitch = baseball.

I would go with leisure:pitch,sport:baseball
