Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable defensive anchor off the bench

Across four appearances as a replacement, Pitout's tackle numbers stand out as his primary contribution, averaging nearly four per game and reaching seven in his best outing. His carrying load is modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a bench role, though he shows willingness to engage contact when called upon. The data paints a picture of a player who makes his minutes count defensively.
