This season, Pitts has shown impressive growth and development compared to last season. He currently boasts a batting average of .244 in just 31 games, with a total of 19 hits, four of which were extra-base hits, along with six RBIs. To showcase his consistency, Pitts has achieved four multi-hit games so far in the 2024 campaign.

"I just want to give a big shout-out to all of the Rox fans that voted for me to get into the All-Star Game! I know it may not seem like much, but every single vote mattered, and that's something I'm extremely grateful for! I'm very excited to get the opportunity to represent my teammates and the rest of Brockton in the event!"
