2026 Fantasy Outlook
Kilby didn't come off the board until the 39th pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, but his pro debut was impressive enough that he'll be a first rounder in dynasty FYPDs. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Kilby has an uber-projectable frame and elite athleticism. He had a 159 wRC+, 108.9 mph max EV, 16 steals on 17 attempts and a 4.5 percent swinging-strike rate in 18 games at Single-A as an 18-year-old. Kilby hit too many balls on the ground (54.4 GB%) and didn't hit a home run, but his size and exit velocities portend plus raw power at peak. His hit tool and speed on the bases each look like potentially special fantasy traits, so he doesn't need to max out as a power hitter to be a strong use of a first-round FYPD pick. The lefty-hitting Kilby doesn't get rave reviews for his arm, which would be the one reason he might move to second base or center field down the road. Read Past Outlooks

Hamstring acting up

Hamstring
June 9, 2026
Kilby went 0-for-2 with one strikeout in a rehab game in the Florida Complex League on May 28 but has not appeared in a rehab game since as he deals with a nagging hamstring injury, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.
Analysis
Kilby seemingly aggravated the hamstring in his one and only rehab game, as he's been missing in action for two weeks since then. Kilby showed an exciting set of tools in his brief pro debut last year, hitting .353 with 16 steals and a 108.9-mph max EV in 18 games at Single-A. He turns 20 in November.
