2014 - Top 100 High School
Prospects - 96. Derek Hill- OF, Elk
Grove (CA) HS http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/jeff-sullivans-top-100-2014-prospects/
7-24-13 - 8.
Derek Hill, of, Elk Grove (Calif.) High/NorCal - The son of former minor
leaguer and current Dodgers area scout Orsino Hill, Derek is a student of the
game. He ran consecutive 60-yard times on grass at TOS in just under 6.4
seconds, and he is one of the fastest players in the class. He consistently
produces home-to-first times in the 4.0-4.1-second range from the right side.
Hill, who is uncommitted, is one of the top defensive players in the class and
has a knack for making highlight-reel catches. He also has an average present
arm. At the plate, Hill has a high hand load, balanced base and short stride.
He has quick hands, bat speed and a line-drive oriented approach. Hill has a
short stroke conducive to hard contact up the middle and to the gaps. The lean
6-foot-1, 175-pounder with a V-shaped upper body has a discerning eye at the
plate and rarely swings and misses. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

30 High School Prospects For 2014 Draft - 16. Derek Hill, CF, Elk Grove HS (CA)
- 6'2/170, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.43, No college commitment - Quick Take: Hill
comes from the same school as 2013 bonus babes 1B Rowdy Tellez (Blue Jays,
$850,000) and C Dom Nunez (Rockies, $800,000) and may make more money than both
of them. He's had among the best game at-bats early in showcase season but also
shows easy plus speed and a fluid swing with a direct bat path. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html
