6/13/17: Top ranked uncommitted 2018 right-handed pitcher. 6-foot, 170 pound right-hander sat 85-86, touching 89 with the fastball in his inning of work. Continues to showcase a short, loose arm and a quick wrist. Lanky, athletic frame. Still expecting to see a velocity jump as he fills in physically. Breaking ball is loopy with depth. Inconsistent command on the breaking ball. Potential out pitch for him. Works at a deliberate pace with fluidity in delivery. High follow in 2018 class.
2/19/17: Hill is a wiry, elastic 6-foot, 170-pound right-hander with a quick arm. Working through a simple motion, Hill slows down at his balance point before driving out down the mound and delivering out of a high to ¾ arm slot with some effort out front. He ran his fastball up to 89 mph (with more to come) showing run. He features a curveball that he throws 68-69 that shows 11/5 spin with gradual, multi-plane break. He tends to drop his elbow and get around the pitch. Also flashed a power changeup (81-83) that shows a bit of fading action, but can be thrown hard.
GAME NOTES 9/22/16: The 6-foot-0, 155 pound right-hander has a short arm circle with whip like action. Has a quick tempo with some rhythm. Command is much improved. Showcased some feel for change-up on his arm side. Breaking ball has sharp break with ability to be a swing and miss pitch. Hill has been seen up to 88, but sits more 83-86 with the fastball.
