Hill

New York Games (June 27-29)

Hill sits in at 5-foot-11; 160 pounds with a lean athletic frame. Clocked at 7.88 – 60. Offensively-Starts upright with little knee bend and his hands away from his body in front of his back shoulder. On pitch his trigger is a small step forward with his hands moving back into a decent hitting position. Tendency to go around the ball with bat path making his swing plane long to the hitting zone. Can be improved with quicker hands and a better/quicker path getting the barrel into the hitting zone. Has a high two handed finish with decent lower body rotation. Exit Velocity recorded at 78 mph. Defensively-Good approach to balls in OF. Arm swing is small and has a tendency to short arm the ball back into the infield. Stays behind the ball well; harnessing momentum into the ball.  A longer arm swing would help accuracy and strength of throws. Position Player velocity recorded at 71 mph.
