Michael Hilton   Catcher | Victoria Islanders Hitting Hilton is an excellent mistake hitter who belts middle-of-the-plate fastballs or hanging breaking balls. Hilton was a line-drive hitter when he first came up, but over the last few years has become more of a true home-run hitter, lofting more high flyballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Left field, right field, center: this guy puts it all over. Baserunning & Defense Hilton isn't a fluid catcher, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. He has a strong, accurate arm. Hilton isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.           -- Moostard Nyman
