Kaden Hilburger looks like Bryant’s workhorse arm with bounce-back upside
In the 2026 season, Kaden Hilburger emerged as Bryant’s Friday starter and a second-team All-America East selection, posting a 3-2 record with a 4.25 ERA in 12 starts and limiting opponents to a .239 average. His value goes beyond the box score: after Tommy John surgery cost him nearly all of 2024 and all of 2025, he returned to give the Bulldogs innings, three straight eight-inning outings, and a four-pitch mix that plays like a sturdy rotation piece. If you want a durable, strikes-first right-hander with real comeback grit, he’s your guy.
