Sam Hilliard Stats

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's Cactus League game against the Cleveland Indians. It was Hilliard's first long ball of what has been a solid Cactus League up to this point. The 27-year-old is slashing .257/.366/.371 with one home run, seven RBI, and four stolen bases over 35 at-bats. He's also drawn six walks but has twice as many strikeouts, which is par for the course. He struck out a whopping 42 times in just 36 games (105 at-bats) last season and has struggled to make consistent contact early on his career. But he's still relatively young and should see regular at-bats for the Rockies this season. He does offer some intriguing power/speed upside and is worth a late-round dart throw in deeper fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard was sent to the clubs alternate training site prior to Thursdays contest against the Dodgers in an attempt to get the left-hander as many at-bats as possible. With David Dahl having returned from the IL, Hilliard had fallen out of everyday playing time despite compiling a .488 SLG with six home runs and three stolen bases in 29 games. In brief stints over the past two years, Hilliard has compiled a career .895 OPS with Colorado, which indicates that hell likely be back in the mix sooner rather than later, while obviously having short-term and DFS appeal when playing at Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during Wednesday's 9-6 win over the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old has had a sporadic season to date, but he is hitting .315 across his last six games. Hilliard owns a .250/.325/.500 slash line to go along with five homers, nine RBI, and three stolen bases in 72 at-bats. He is part of a messy playing-time situation in the outfield, along with Garrett Hampson and Raimel Tapia, and the Kevin Pillar acquisition only muddles things further. Until Hilliard snags a full-time role, he is solely viable in NL-only formats.
