Notes: Hill is a sinker/slider pitcher who doesn’t strike out many guys. He needs to allow fewer hits and his GO/AO was only 1.39 in 2006, which is a bad sign as he faces better opposition. Hill was a senior sign out of college and was expected to move quickly but hasn’t. He has a medium, compact, athletic frame with broad shoulders. He utilizes a three-quarter arm angle and his fastball has riding life with occasional sink. Hill is aggressive and not afraid to pitch inside. He flashes a quality three-quarter tilt slider, with tight, sharp break. Hill is a good athlete. He looked over-matched at double-A but there was some thought that he was pitching hurt.
