Background
La Victoria has a deep baseball tradition, and Chivilli is the latest arm to come out of that pipeline. He worked his way through the Colorado Rockies’ minor league system, building his repertoire as a starter before earning his big-league call-up in the summer of 2024. That debut opened the door to competing against the best hitters in the world — and he’s been learning fast ever since.
Professional Career
Chivilli’s first MLB taste came with the Colorado Rockies in 2024: a 4.55 ERA over 31.2 innings, going 2-3 with 28 strikeouts. Modest numbers, but the strikeout ability was there from the start.
2025 was a rougher ride. Still with Colorado, he logged 58.2 innings — more than double his debut workload — but posted a 7.06 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP, finishing 1-5. The control issues were real, but so was the increased opportunity. He still punched out 43 batters that year.
The chapter that has people paying attention is 2026 with the New York Yankees. In 16.2 innings, Chivilli owns a 3.78 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts — going 1-1. The command is sharper, the efficiency is up, and the results suggest this could be a genuine turning point.

Awards and Records
No major MLB awards yet — no MVP, no Gold Glove, no World Series ring. Chivilli is still in the consolidation phase of his career, which is exactly where you’d expect a 24-year-old to be. The opportunity in front of him with a historic franchise like the Yankees is as big as it gets.
Worth Knowing
At 24, Chivilli fits the profile of the modern Dominican pitcher: young, with swing-and-miss stuff and the makeup to compete in high-pressure environments. Wearing pinstripes means every outing is under a spotlight watched by millions. That kind of stage can accelerate a career — or reveal its limits. So far, the arrow is pointing up.
