Columbus State commit. Chitwood plays with his hair on fire at all-time as he brings high-level competitiveness to the diamond which bodes extremely well for the Raiders and company. The former Senior Future Gamer yields gamer qualities and present athleticism throughout. The southpaw turned out a dominant outing on the mound as he generated over 20+ whiffs with 13 strikeouts in a complete game win. Athletic mover and repeats well from a ¾ slot with excellent feel for the entire 4-pitch mix. Showed ability to command the fastball throughout the zone with plenty of whiffs in-the-zone at 80-81 and mixed in a sinker off it at 77-80. Advanced feel for a sharp slider at 69-72 with feel to tunnel and manipulate for whiffs. Changeup complimented the arsenal with tumble at 72-73. At the plate, Chitwood came through with a pair of knocks. Quiet setup and works from a direct path with feel to move the barrel around the zone in an all-fields approach. High-level bat to ball skills stand out in an advanced approach with tremendous pitch recognition and looks to do damage early in counts. You know what you get each time Chitwood takes the field as he brings a strong two-way profile and aims to lead the Raiders back to the playoffs and so forth.

Uncommitted. Chitwood had 2 of the only htis for the Raiders against a quality junior arm. One being a hard liner to leadoff the game, and the next a loud double down the line to the pull side. He has a strong first step out of the box, and can change the game on the base path with his feet. He is dynamic in the outfield with real closing speed on balls. He can make the tough diving plays being the 3 sport athlete that he is. As the strength develops he is really going to come into his own at the plate, and be one of the top outfielders in the state.
