Gill Hill

Physical: Wiry, elastic 6-foot-2, 160lb frame with a tall waist and limitless upside. 

Pitching: RHP - Started off the left side of the rubber and featured an up-tempo delivery. Found a balanced stack, creating fluid separation and good angle on the ball downhill to the target. Repeated a H ¾ slot and peppered the knees from 92-93 mph at 2400rpms. 18 inches of arm-side run and paired a heavier 90-91 mph SNK with similar command. Though a 78-80 mph SL is still developing, it showed flashes with late cut across the zone, and an 79-82 mph CH fell off the table on one occasion, giving him another legitimate out-pitch down the road to LHH.

Physical: Lean / uber athletic 5-foot-11, 133-pound frame with some projectability in the build. 7.17 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with a wide setup as the hands started with slight rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to initiate the hands through a flat barrel path into the hitting zone with lift after contact. High level swing mechanics with a short time to contact allowing for leverage in the box. Repeatedly got the hands inside the baseball and delivered the bat head at the front of the plate generating natural extra base hit prowess towards the pull-side gap. An athletic and adjustable lower half gave the hands the ability to match pitch plane early and often recording a peak bat-exit velocity of 84 mph per Trackman Baseball. A 37% line drive rate and 37% fly ball rate during his round were both equally impressive and showed off present skills to do damage at the plate. Top batted ball distance was 300 feet and notched a standout 24.30 max hand speed according to Blast Motion. Defensively: The primary outfielder featured active footwork with a soft glove hand playing off of the left side of his body on the approach, generated plenty of downhill momentum towards the target with a feel for space, natural instincts in a centerfielder’s frame. Advanced drop step technique and could go and get the ball in either gap. Recorded an accurate throwing arm with good quickness to the arm speed out of a high ¾ slot. OF - 84 mph Pitching: RHP - Started from the middle of the rubber with a backwards rocker step, medium leg lift at the top of the stack with above average pace in the delivery, good arm speed while getting over the front side through a high ¾ release. FB ranged from 80-82 mph with command in the zone, up to 2200 spin per Trackman Baseball, mixed in a 60-62 mph breaker with short 11/5 shape. Countered with a 70-71 mph straight CH and dropped in a quality 70-71 mph SPLIT with low spin.
