Pitlick ranked third in the Big Ten and T-6th in the NCAA in scoring and was named First Team All-Big Ten and a finalist for the 2019 Hobey Baker Memorial Award. He registered 89 points (46-43=89) and 74 PIM in 56 games in the United States Hockey League (USHL) with the Muskegon Lumberjacks in 2015-16.
