While the song references baseball, its clearly not about baseball. The pitcher refered to is unlikely to be Sandy Koufax, though the stories of him not pitching on holy days may have inspired the reference. My guess is that its no one in particular.
Although I doubt this is the case, I do wonder if the Pitcher/Catcher segment is meant to drawn upon the use of those terms in reference to gay relationships. The Pitcher could be someone who is reluctant to accept his sexuality. The song itself isn't quite specifically about a heterosexual relationship and the setting in San Francisco could be a hint, too. I think I'm stretching this, but you never know.
