Baltimore claimed Hilliard (heel) off waivers from Atlanta on Wednesday.
Scouting Report
A tremendous athlete at 6-5, 238 pounds, he owns an excellent power/speed combination with a great throwing arm. His home-run prowess is burgeoning and he can play solid defense in either right or center field. His swing is long, so strikeouts are a real problem for him, and he has a tendency to be a bit too pull-happy (he needs to learn how to use the entire field). He also struggles badly against left-handed pitching.
Long Range Potential: Toolsy, versatile and athletic outfielder with some upside.
