Hill was the first name out of a few managers' mouths when talking about the prospects who impressed them most in the league this year. Not a big name out of high school--the Red Sox took the Delaware prep product in the 19th round in 2014--Hill impressed with his bat this summer, leading the league in hitting at .332. Hill's bat is his clear standout tool--and potentially a plus tool--because he showed a loose, athletic swing and the ability to hit the ball to all three fields. He has pull power but mostly gap power to the opposite field. That power has the potential to blossom and will likely need to for Hill to stick as a righthanded-hitting corner outfielder. Hill profiles best in left field because the rest of his tools are fringy to average, and his arm isn't playable in right. His ceiling is directly tied to his bat.
