Hillenbrand is a fine hitter, but his lack of discipline doesn't bode well for future success.
His plate discipline sucks, his early season tears masked plate mediocrity and he always had a look on his face like he'd killed the real Shea Hillenbrand and was about to get caught, but he (for whatever reason) looked like someone who hustled all the time.
Anyway, Hillenbrand was so hyped last year at the start, then noone seemed to really notice how bad he turned.
