Kent State’s Alena Hillyard brings workhorse value in the circle
Hillyard profiles as a durability-first pitcher who gives Kent State innings and depth: in the 2026 season she made 27 appearances, started six times, logged 54.1 innings, and picked up three wins with 22 strikeouts. Her current value is less about gaudy strikeout totals and more about being a trusted, flexible arm who can absorb workload and handle multiple roles in the circle. The fit is best for a staff that wants composure, versatility, and reliable innings over pure overpowering velocity.
