Hiura stands out for his feel for the barrel and his potential plus power. There’s still a lot of swing-and-miss concerns, as he fanned 28 times in 96 at-bats, and it’s a pull-heavy approach, but the swing works and he usually stays short to the ball. After an elbow injury in college that limited him to a DH role early in his pro career, Hiura should be an average defender at second base in time. He makes up for a below-average arm with accuracy and a quick release.
