Eureka!
Michigan grabbed an in-state 2024 who had options and gives U-M a guy with ace upside & two-way ability.
Hill is 6-4, plays football & basketball, can hit & plays the corner OF well with a plus arm.
He has a ton of pitchability on the bump with a funky delivery he hides well. Often leaves hitters off-balance & guessing. Rolls out a FB/SL/CB/CH mix that overlays at a high level.
Nobody shut down the OLSM lineup — 44-0 in 2022 & 87-1 since March 2021 — like Hill did in the 2022 state final.
As a junior against the best team in MHSAA history — regardless of sport — here was his line:
6 innings
3 hits
1 earned run
1 walk
9 strikeouts
Here’s the tape from that game:
Easily the best in-state pickup from Tracy Smith so far — which isn’t saying much, given the lack thereof. However, Hill, independently, is a pickup that’ll pay off long-term.
Can he enroll early? They need pitching NOW.
