Background
Hiura, 20, had a decorated prep career at Valencia High School in Southern California, though he went undrafted in 2014 and followed through on his commitment to UC Irvine. He’s a career .360/.455/.570 hitter with the Anteaters, including .405/.551/.684 with eight homers, 44 walks, and 30 strikeouts in 46 games as a junior this year. Hiura suffered an elbow ligament injury making a throw last season, and it continues to bother him, so much so that he has been limited to DH duty this spring.
