Prep Baseball All-American Game: Standing a lean, ultra-projectable 6-foot-2, 155-pounds with long levers, Hill works downhill from a three-quarters slot with a fast, whippy arm. Fastball will get on top of hitters in the low-90s with some natural cut. Slider is the weapon of the pitch mix at 77-81 with advanced feel to spin (Avg. 2644) and ability to manipulate shape by adding and subtracting sweep. Shows ability to garner swing-and-miss at will against LHH. Changeup is at 80-82 out of the same tunnel as the fastball with late tumble. There's a true feel for three in the Dallas Baptist commit and a clean operation with quality pitchability that could be leading Hill to an even higher upside.
