Hylton is 5-9 with an athletic frame that has plenty of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a balanced athletic stance, low leg kick stride on line, short load back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, quick to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path, strength at contact point with some extension through the ball, showed a good approach working primarily gap to gap, some feel for the barrel, exit velocity was 84. In the infield, rounds the ball and fields with a wider base and average hands, works through the ball to a clean exchange, throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, short arm action, position velocity was 66. Ran a 7.57 60 yard dash.
