Fitzmorris signed as a non-drafted free agent with the Chicago White Sox in 1966. In October 1968, he left the Sox as the 40th overall pick by the Kansas City Royals. Fitzmorris won a career high 16 games for the Royals in 1975. He stayed with the Royals until 1976. In November of that year, the Toronto Blue Jays picked him up as the 13th pick overall.
