first-team All-American in 1968, Stitt hit .364 and was considered the top defensive outfielder in college baseball. Others chosen to that first team were future New York Yankees All-Star catcher Thurman Munson and Tom Paciorek, who played in the big leagues for 18 seasons. Stitt went on to coach at his alma mater for 24 years.
