Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50
Playing at the University of Arizona, Summerhill earned all Pac-12 honors and led the team in average, on-base percentage and extra base hits as a sophomore in 2024. Then he turned in an All-Star performance in the Cape Cod League, though a broken hand cost him more than a month before he pulled a hamstring in his second game back to force him to the sidelines again. He hit .343/.459/.556 in 44 games as a junior and went to the Rays with the 42nd overall pick in the Draft.
When healthy, Summerhill is a strong and athletic left-handed hitter who has the chance to be a dynamic player on both sides of the ball. He's shown a very good approach at the plate, walking nearly as often as he struck out in '24 and limiting the swing-and-miss that some area scouts saw from him during his time in the Chicago high school ranks. Still, he'll have to work on his tendency to chase pitches outside the zone at the next level. He's just starting to tap into his raw power, and it's showing up mostly to his pull side right now.
Summerhill spent the fall and spring playing right field for the Wildcats. He has the arm and run production potential to profile there. But while he’s seen time at all three outfield spots, he might have more value in center field, where he played exclusively in the Cape. Regardless of where he is on the grass, he has the chance to be an everyday outfielder at the next level with a Jake McCarthy-like profile.

The University of Arizona has had a hitter taken in the first round in three of the last five Drafts, with Chase Davis repped the school in the 2023 first round, Daniel Susac in 2022 and Austin Wells in 2020, but the Wildcats were shut out in 2024. Summerhill has the chance to get the program back into the opening round after he earned all Pac-12 honors and led the team in average, on-base percentage and extra base hits as a sophomore in 2024, then turned in an All-Star performance in the Cape Cod League, though a broken hand cost him over a month and then he pulled a hamstring in his second game back to force him to the sidelines again.
Considered by many to be the best player in the four corners region when healthy, Summerhill is a strong and athletic left-handed hitter who has the chance to be a dynamic player on both sides of the ball. He's shown a very good approach at the plate, walking nearly as often as he struck out in 2024 and limiting the swing-and-miss that some area scouts saw from him during his time in the Chicago high school ranks.

He has the arm and run production potential to profile there, but while he’s seen time at all three outfield spots, he might have more value in center field, where he played exclusively on the Cape. That would put a little less pressure on the power to come, but regardless of where he is on the grass, he has the chance to be an everyday outfielder at the next level with a Jake McCarthy-like profile.
