   Though technically a wedge, pitching wedges are generally treated as if they were numbered irons.This is for a number of reasons: first, before the term "wedge" became common for high-loft short irons, the pitching wedge was actually numbered as the "10-iron" of a matched set, and to this day it follows the normal loft progression of the numbered irons.

3. Wedge (golf) - Wikipedia
