A member of Team Wisconsin’s PBR Future Games squad last summer, Kilps has clearly been hard at work in the time since. He’s added some wiry strength to his 6-foot-2, 185-pound build, and he’s refined what was a raw, live arsenal and molded into a more competitive mix. The southpaw has a quick arm that produces mid-80s velocity with a general ease, and more in the tank, as he eventually reached 89 and 90 mph highs at the end of his session. Kilps’ slider feel is improving, showing more action and feel to spin. His best offspeed, currently, is a unique mid-70s knuckleball. He does well to limit its spin without altering his typical arm speed/slot much, and the pitch features late action that he spotted at the bottom and under the zone well.
