Scouting Report

Assets
  • At the plate, Hillenbrand is the prototypical third baseman, with great strike zone awareness, good gap power and a consistent bat that can keep him close to .300.
Flaws
  • Defense. He has an erratic arm, which provides many a souvenir for fans behind first base. And he just refuses to take a free pass.
Career Potential
  • Quality DH or solid corner infielder.
