Drafted in the 10th round (286th overall) by the Boston Red Sox in 2021 (signed for $47,500).
View Draft Report
Litwicki is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound righthander who overpowered hitters this spring with a fastball that was routinely in the 96-98 mph range, but he threw just 12 innings and made 10 relief appearances. He posted a 4.50 ERA and allowed almost a hit per inning, but his strikeout-to-walk ratio was excellent, with 17 strikeouts (12.8 K/9) and just two walks (1.5 BB/9). Litwicki has a sharp slider in the low 80s that he pairs with his heater and seems to have the stuff—and the delivery—of a bullpen arm at the next level, though his track record with Indiana is extremely limited, with just 31.1 total innings under his belt over the last three seasons.
