I believe the answer is:

pitch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'throw' is the first definition.
(pitch is a kind of throw)

'black stuff' is the second definition.
'pitch' can be an answer for 'black' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'stuff' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pitch that I've seen before include "Tar; toss" , "Football ground" , "Football/cricket area" , "Erect (tent); steepness of roof" , "Timbre" .)
