Pitzer has emerged as one of South Carolina’s most talented arms, regardless of class. The athletic righthander has an up-tempo delivery with plus arm speed and relies heavily on his fastball and slider. His heater sits in the low 90s and tops out at 94, but it plays up when elevated. It jumps out of his hand and flashes carry through the zone. Pitzer has an advanced feel for his sharp, high-70s slurvey slider. It is an above-average pitch, and one with which he is able to generate swing-and-miss. Pitzer’s mid-80s changeup doesn’t get a ton of separation off his fastball and flashes a touch of late tumble, but Pitzer maintains his arm speed and throws it with conviction. A polished strike-thrower with a budding third offering, Pitzer figures to pitch in the South Carolina rotation full time starting in 2025.
