+ OF/RHP Ira Hilbelink (Cedar Grove-Belgium, 2027) showcases an athletic and strong 5-foot-11, 188-pound frame. At the plate, the right-hander takes a natural and controlled path through the baseball, finding the barrel consistently with ease. Feel to elevate was evident as was the impact, averaging 91.7 mph reaching a peak of 99.5 mph on the round. On the mound, his fastball topped 90 mph. He features heavy spin on his curveball with fell for the zone, and his changeup played with heavy fading action. He operates with a quick tempo and a powerful, explosive lower half.

On the pitching side, it’s a controlled tempo into a medium leg-lift with a tall-and-fall style delivery. He showed polish on the mound, filling the zone with three offerings - a mid-80s fastball, low-70s curveball and upper-70s changeup. His clean, loose arm action into a high-¾ release allowed the freshman to reach 86.4 mph on the fastball. His curveball showed sharp 11/5 action. At the plate, Hilbelink works from an athletic set-up with a short, consistent trigger into a downhill path that leads to hard-hit line drives. He creates some easy bat speed that contributes to his power, maxing at 94.4 mph off the bat. Hilbelink has quick feet and range in the infield, showing quality actions all-around.

7/26/23

PBR Junior Future Games: OF/3B Ira Hilbelnik (Cedar Grove-Belgium, 2027) is a very compact, strong right-handed hitter who synced up hard line-drives to his pull-side. It’s a simple, low-effort swing that averaged among Wisconsin’s top exit velocities, including an 89.3 mph high. Hilbelink is also a versatile defender who looks especially capable in the outfield, up to 81 mph to home, though he also showed soft hands and athletic footwork on the infield.
