Morphology

pitch + coach

The meaning is directly compositional: 'pitching' (presenting/persuading) + 'coach' (someone who trains) yields a coach who trains people to give pitches. This verb+‑ing + coach pattern is a regular, cross-linguistic composition and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the business sense of 'pitch' (noting only that a different sense of 'pitch' exists in sports, which does not make the construction idiomatic).

Etymology

The phrase pitching coach in business uses the same idea: a coach who helps people pitch an idea, shape their words and slides, and practice their delivery, so it means 'a coach for presentations and sales pitches'.
