    Hill had Tommy John surgery at Santa Rosa (Calif.) JC in 2016 and re-emerged in 2018 as San Diego State’s top starter, going 7-2, 3.58 for the Aztecs in the regular season. Hill pitches at 87-90 mph and touches 92 out of a casual, low-effort delivery with the ability to ramp up to 94 mph. His 75-76 mph changeup is his best secondary pitch. The offering has a bit of a hump, but it drops out at the bottom enough to get swings and misses over the top. He also has a get-me-over, 74-76 mph slider he uses to occasionally expand the zone. Hill throws all his pitches for strikes, works quickly and pitches deep into games because he keeps his pitch count low. His performance track record and ability to eat innings have evaluators interested in him as a day three selection.
