Scouting Report

2025

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

After a strong freshman season at Arizona State, Hill transferred to Mississippi and didn't make much impact against Southeastern Conference pitching in 2024. He has raised his profile this spring by continuing to employ a disciplined approach while demonstrating more gap power. A high-floor player who also offers some defensive versatility, he signed for an over-slot $722,600 in the fourth round.

Hill controls the strike zone and makes consistent contact from the right side of the plate. He did a better job of turning on pitches and driving them in the air as a junior, though he still mostly sprays balls from gap to gap and generates a lot of grounders. He understands that his job is to get on base and probably will top out at 15 homers per season.

Hill shows fringy speed out of the batter's box but is a solid runner once he gets going and has good instincts. Primarily a shortstop in his first two college seasons, he moved to third base and second base this spring. He has average arm strength and range, and he profiles best offensively and defensively at second.
