View Draft Report
Hill is a fifth-year senior who doesn't have overwhelming stuff and is listed at just 6-foot, 210 pounds. But he has proven himself as a strong performer, winning Sun Belt Conference pitcher of the year honors in back-to-back seasons. Hill's fastball sits 88-92 mph and he throws it with some deception. His slider is his best secondary offering, and he can also mix in a curveball and a changeup. None of his pitches grades out better than average, but he has an above-average understanding of his craft and fills up the strike zone. While his upside is limited, Hill has the overall package to be a swing-man or possibly a fifth starter.
