More nervous to get pitcher (5)
I believe the answer is:
shyer
I believe this is a double definition.
'more nervous' is the first definition.
'pitcher' is the second definition.
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for shyer that I've seen before include "More reserved" , "More bashful" , "More timid" , "Not so confident" , "More lacking in self-confidence" .)
