Infielder Pitre (Repentigny, Que.) is heading into his third season with the University of Kentucky and will feature as a prominent player on the 2024 squad.

As a freshman, Pitre only found himself earning four at-bats while working mostly in a pinch-running capacity but became a full-fledge starter last year, appearing in 61 games split between shortstop and second. At the plate, Pitre slashed .318/.440/.413 with 51 RBIs and a .853 OPS, finding himself in the top three on the squad in almost every offensive category.

With a plus eye at the plate, he walked more than he struck out (42 compared to 35) and finished second on the team with 20 stolen bases. The lefty-batter doesn’t possess the most power but makes up for it with his high-grade contact ability. For his efforts this past season, Pitre was named to the SEC All-Defensive team (he posted a .981 fielding percentage with just five errors) and the All-Southeastern Conference, Second Team. Kentucky advanced to the super-regional this past season but bowed out after facing LSU, the eventual College World Series winner.
