Overview

• Kilen declined the Boston Red Sox’s 2022 13th-round offer to refine his game at Louisville before transferring to Tennessee for SEC competition.
• He slashed .357/.441/.671 with 15 home runs and 46 RBIs over 53 games as a junior, showcasing consistent offensive production.
• His junior campaign earned him All-SEC First Team honors and First Team All-American recognition from Baseball America and Perfect Game.
• Scouts praise his contact-first left-handed swing and smooth infield defense, though some project a move to second base due to average arm strength.
• Lacking a second-round pick after signing Willy Adames, San Francisco prioritized infield depth with its only first-round selection.
