idea / performance / introduction
'die Vorstellung' and 'der Pitch' can both have to do with presenting in front of others. 'die Vorstellung' is more general and can mean that a person is introduced in a formal setting. 'der Pitch' is more specific: it is when you briefly and persuasively present an idea, product, or project, often to win others over. Learners may confuse the words because in both cases something or someone is presented. When it is about a short sales or project presentation, 'Pitch' sounds more natural. When a person is officially introduced, 'Vorstellung' fits better.
