Pitre became the second Wildcat to be selected as Ryan Waldschmidt was taken No. 31 overall. He played three seasons of college baseball, all of which were in the blue and white.

When Pitre arrived in Lexington from his hometown of Repentigny, Quebec, Canada, in 2022 as a freshman, he only saw action in 11 games.
