    View Draft Report
    Hilson is one of the speedier center fielders in the high school draft class, as he earns consistent 70 grades on his speed. That speed is apparent as he ranges around center field. But unlike a lot of speedsters, Hilson has some potential to drive the ball, with strong hands and at-least average bat speed. He could develop into an above-average hitter with the potential for 10-15 home runs a year. The Alabama signee has also touched 93 mph off the mound this year. If he gets to school, he has a chance to develop into a two-way player for the Crimson Tide.
