Career
Colorado Rockies
Chivilli signed with the Colorado Rockies as an international free agent on July 30, 2018, receiving a $200,000 signing bonus.[1][2] He made his professional debut in 2019 with the Dominican Summer League (DSL) Rockies. He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
Chivilli returned to the DSL Rockies in 2021, recording a 3.49 ERA and 45 strikeouts across 11 games (8 starts).[4] He split the 2022 campaign between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Rockies and Single-A Fresno Grizzlies. In 32 games out of the bullpen for the two affiliates, Chivilli accumulated a 2.21 ERA with 10 saves and 51 strikeouts across 40+2⁄3 innings pitched.[5][6]
Chivilli spent 2023 with the High-A Spokane Indians and Double-A Hartford Yard Goats. He made 53 appearances for the two affiliates, compiling a 4–9 record and 5.61 ERA with 68 strikeouts and 17 saves.[7] On November 14, 2023, the Rockies added Chivilli to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
Chivilli was optioned to Double-A Hartford to begin the 2024 season.[8] On May 3, Chivilli was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[9] He was optioned down to Hartford on May 6 without having appeared for Colorado, temporarily becoming a phantom ballplayer.[10] On June 3, Chivilli was once more promoted to the major leagues.[11] This time, he made his MLB debut.[12] He was first Rockies pitcher to not issue a walk in his first 12 appearances. He earned his first MLB save on August 20. He finished his rookie season with a 2–3 record and 4.55 ERA in 31+2⁄3 innings.[6]
