rookies
When Todd Coffey plunked Biggio on Monday, he became the 29th rookie pitcher to hit Biggio with a pitch, and it was Biggio's 31st plunk from a rookie. Biggio has been hit most often by 2nd and 3rd year pitchers, and by more 2nd year pitchers than any other experience level. Frank Tanana was the longest serving pitcher to hit Biggio with a pitch, drilling Biggio in his 21st season (1993).

"Which pitcher, currently in his 15th year, is most likely to hit Biggio this season?"
I'd say it's a toss up between Dave Weathers and Roberto Hernandez.
