A tall and imposing figure, it's tough not to notice 2025 Fillenberg almost immediately. Standing 6-foot-7, 190-pounds, Fillenberg moves really well and with a lot of coordination for a player his size. The Southern Maine commit lives 83-85, very downhill, loose, easy and clean. He pairs his fastball with strong feel for a changeup at 71-76 mph and a developing breaking ball. There's so much to dream on with Fillenberg, who has only begun to scratch the surface of his development.

One of the more intriguing prospects in Alberta’s 2025 class is RHP Sydney Fillenberg. It starts with his very projectable 6-foot-7, 190-pound frame. With plenty of athleticism, he moves well generating extension down the mound. The fastball sits 78-80 mph and he spins two unique breaking balls. With a high release point, he has the ability to generate a steep vertical approach angle which will allow him to create weak ground ball contact. Fillenberg will be one to follow as he continues to develop and add strength to his frame.
