Hitting, Baserunning & Defense:
Hillenbrand is one of the most
impatient hitters around, drawing
few walks and rarely even getting
to a three-ball count. A defensive
hitter who hits the ball where it's
pitched, he seldom strikes out, but he often gets himself out
by putting a pitcher's pitch in play. He had a rough go of it
against southpaws, despite having hit them very well the
year before. He did a decent job at the hot corner, showing
average range and a sometimes-erratic but strong enough
arm. A former catcher, he's an average runner at best.

Observing, Reducing Data, & Deriving: Hillenbrand is one of the most impatient astronomers around, drawing few clouds but rarely getting to even a three-photon count. A defensive "modeler" who reduces the data where it's taken, she seldom gets rejected, but often gets herself into trouble by putting a competitor's work in play. She had a rough go of it against southpaws, despite having hit them up side the head very hard the year before. She did a decent job at the short wavelengths, showing average range and a sometimes-erratic but strong enough intuition. A former Tiger, she's an average programmer at best. (credit: Michael R.
