Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50

Standing out much more with his projectability than his stuff on the showcase circuit last summer, Hill seemed destined to attend Dallas Baptist. Then he made a huge leap this spring while pitching Grapevine HS to the Texas 5-A state championship and now projects to go in the top two rounds and bypass college. He's the Lone Star State's best prep southpaw prospect since Kyle Muller, who signed for $2.5 million as a Braves second-rounder in 2016.

After parking around 89-90 mph and topping out at 93 with his fastball last summer, Hill has grown 3 inches, added 15 pounds and started dealing in the low 90s while reaching 96. His best pitch is a high-spin slider in the low 80s that he backfoots well against right-handers. He also has a solid upper-70s curveball with more depth and a low-80s changeup with sink and similar promise.

Hill not only possesses four viable offerings but he also has the ability to throw them all for strikes. He still has room to add plenty of muscle to his lanky frame, so his repertoire could continue to get stronger. The biggest knock on him is a lack of history with quality stuff, though his upside at least as a No. 3 starter is hard to deny.

Standing out much more for his projectability than his stuff on the showcase circuit last summer, Hill seemed destined to attend Dallas Baptist. Then he made a huge leap this spring while pitching Grapevine HS to the Texas 5-A state championship and was popping up in top-two-rounds conversations. The Lone Star State’s best prep southpaw prospect since Kyle Muller, who signed for $2.5 million as a Braves second-rounder in 2016, Hill went just after the second round, in Competitive Balance Round B, but got top of the second round money ($2 million) to sign with the Twins.
