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

11-21-13 - 31. St. Louis Cardinals: Derek Hill, OF, Elk Grove HS (Calif.) -
Already considered by scouts to be the fastest player in the 2014 draft class
with legitimate top-of-the-order, plus-plus speed, Derek Hill’s prospect stock
should continue to climb next spring with the improvement of his baseball
skills. At 6’2”, 170 pounds, Hill’s wheels are obvious on both sides of the
ball, especially in center field where he’s a plus defender who should be able
to stick at the position. At the dish, the right-handed hitter has a smooth
swing and knows how to get the barrel on the ball. He’s already drawn rave
reviews for the present in-game utility of his hit tool, and it should only
improve as he continues to develop. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1860341-2014-mlb-mock-draft-early-first-round-projections-for-all-30-teams/page/10
