يؤيد / يناصر/ يدعم


Explanation:
Say or do something in support of someone or something, as in That announcer really made a pitch for Sunday's concert , or Her agent's been making a pitch for her books all over town . This expression originally alluded to an inflated sales talk that was "pitched" (in the sense of "thrown") at the listener. [Slang; late 1800s]
