Tyler Phillip Hill (born March 4, 1996) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. Listed at 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) and 195 pounds (88 kg), he bats and throws right-handed.[1]

Career[edit]

Hill was selected by the Red Sox with their 20th overall pick in the 2014 MLB Draft out of Delaware Military Academy in Wilmington, DE, where he was a three sport standout before graduating in 2014.[2][3] As a senior, Hill hit .432 with six home runs and 18 stolen bases, driving in 29 runs while scoring 29 times. He was committed to play baseball at Wilmington University, but opted to sign with the Red Sox instead.[1][2]

Hill played in just four games during his 2014 debut season with the Gulf Coast League Red Sox, being ruled out due to a hamstring injury he suffered in a game.[2] He returned to the GCL Red Sox in 2015 and hit .250 with 16 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 39 games,[1] before gaining a promotion to Class A Short-Season Lowell Spinners in late August. In limited action, he hit .400 (6-for-15) with four runs scored and two steals in four games with the Spinners.[1]

Hill opened 2016 at Lowell, and he improved considerably over his previous two seasons. Hill connected at least one hit in 11 of his first 13 games, including six multi-hit contests and a slash line of .321/.36/.491 during the month of June.[4] But Hill was even better in July, when he led the New York–Penn League in batting average (.432), hits (35), total bases (50) and slugging (.617).[4] His very solid month of July included both an 11-game and an eight-game hitting streak over a total of 22 game appearances,[4] being named by Minor League Baseball as the July Player of the Month Award winner in the league.[5] Besides, he was selected to the annual NYPL All-Star Game.[6] Hill finished the season in strong form, leading the NYPL hitters with a .332 average and 113 total bases through 61 games with the Spinners, while ranking second with a .508 slugging percentage and a .887 on-base plus slugging. Besides him, only four other players hit at least .300 during the regular season.[7]

Following his breakout campaign at Lowell, Hill joined the Greenville Drive in 2017. During his full season in Class A, he had a .272/.342/.390 slash line in 119 games, finishing first in stolen bases and fourth in hits (125) in the Red Sox' minor league system, while posting the seventh best runs scored (65) among all regulars.[8] Hill began the 2018 season with the Class A-Advanced Salem Red Sox.

During the 2018 Winter Meetings, the Detroit Tigers selected Hill from the Red Sox in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[9] He was, in turn, traded to the Yankees for cash considerations.[10] Hill appeared in 51 games for the Class A-Advanced Tampa Tarpons, hitting .242 with 5 home runs and 20 RBIs before he was released by the organization on June 21, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, Hill signed with the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the independent American Association.
