5/31/17 A right-handed pitching prospect with a 6-foot-6 frame. Uses a slower tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. Drop and drive guy that creates adequate energy with his lower half. Works through a near high-¾ slot with developing arm speed. Fastball was consistently in the zone, with run at 74-76 mph. His go to secondary offering is his 10/4 shaped breaking ball. The pitch showed signs of sharpness and he threw it with confidence at 65-66 mph. Hillberry displayed solid pitchability and was effective throughout his performance.
8/2/16 A very projectable frame at 6-foot-6, 235-pounds. The right-handed pitchers has a slower tempo to a delivery he is able to repeat. Arm action is long with average arm speed. Working through a near high-¾ slot his fastball sat 76-79 mph with run at times. He throws his breaking ball hard giving it good depth and sharp action at 72-73 mph. Also mixed in a changeup that showed run and sink.
2/21/16 6-foot-5, 235-pound prospect with big frame. Slow tempo to his delivery. Still learning how to use his big frame to his advantage. Will be aided by speeding up his lower half. Regular effort at this stage. Throws through high ¾ slot. Fastball was straight at 75-77 mph. Breaking ball showed 11/5 break at 70-71 mph. Good arm speed to the pitch. Changeup was located down in the zone with some fade at 71-74 mph. Overall, interesting prospect that is still developing physically and mechanically.
