LHP Christopher Chittaro (Saint Ignatius, 2027) was efficient in his two innings of work. Lean 6-foot, 164-pound frame. The left-hander operated out of a controlled, deliberate delivery, utilizing a medium leg lift into balance point, finishing in-line. His arm worked out of a compact ¾ arm action. Chittaro worked quickly on the mound, only allowing one hit with two strikeouts and no runs allowed. He was able to induce weak contact with his three-pitch mix. His fastball was 81-84 mph with max IVB of 16.4”. He also showed a 1/7 curveball with depth at 68-70 mph, and a fading changeup at 72-73 mph.

Stands in at a lean 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame with room for added strength. Chittaro showcased a good look on the mound from the left side, featuring a fastball up to that sat in the 78-82 mph range, along with a curveball that came with some sweep at 68-70 mph. He would also flash a changeup that sat in the mid-70s that played with depth. Chittaro delivers the ball with athleticism and ease, and throws out of a ¾ slot that could cause some discomfort for left-handed hitters.
