After hearing the phrase that's immediately what I thought it meant.

It makes sense now, but at first I thought it either meant some kind of pitch in baseball, or something to do with the up and down movement of the elevator.

Indeed.
That was my thought. The word "pitch" made me think of a slope, or angle. An elevator, rudder or aileron has a pitch with reference to the direction of the plane.
Of course, I don't know where the thread title came from.
BTW, does anyone know where the name "plane" came from, with reference to heavier than air flying machines?
