Hile is a Marshall commit, he has an athletic frame with some strength in the lower half and projection left to it. Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, very short, loose quick arm action and normal effort to his delivery, ball explodes out of his hand. Hides ball, shoulders are uphill and closed, lands on line with an athletic finish. Fastball was 85-87, touching 88 with some downward plane and a touch of late armside run to it. Two distinct breaking balls, curveball was 68-70 with good armspeed and sharp big 11/5 break to it. Slider had good armspeed and was 75-78 with late hard 10/4 break, swing and miss pitch. Showed a few change-ups at 80-81 with good armspeed and some late run. Uses both breaking balls effectively with each other. Struck out 8 in five innings, had four walks but three were in a row, lost the strike zone for a moment trying to nibble, bbut didn't get huurt that inning by it. Still has room to add velo and the breaking ball combination is going to make him very effective.

Open stance, but gets back in line on load and foot strike. Good balance and head stays quiet throughout the swing. Barrel stays through the hitting zone with good extension and a high two handed finish. In the infield Christian attacks conventional ground balls and fields left of center. Good arm action and displayed ability to throw from different slots with ease. Gets hands to center post catch for a clean hand break. In the outfield has good glove positioning while fielding the ball. Effectively uses pro hop to utilize shorter arm action for quicker release with some arm strength to go with it. High leg lift with some pace in the mechanics. Fastball has some carry and explodes through the zone. Breaking ball has excellent depth while changing multiple planes. While throwing the changeup he displayed good body intent and arm speed to play well off of the fastball. From the stretch the setup was a little taller and narrow, but manages to get same life and play out of all pitches.
