What’s to Like 
“Intriguing” is the first word that comes to mind when I see Hill’s name and profile. Being 6-5 and lanky, left-handed, and hitting 97 mph with his fastball is just the start.  Wait, what?   

Let’s try that again. Dasan Hill is a 20-year-old left-hander who stands 6-5, has room to gain strength yet, and has already reached triple digits with his fastball. He also throws a curveball, change-up, and slider, all of which grade out as above average. Having four above-average pitches is a great profile as a starting pitcher prospect.

Drafted in Competitive Balance Round B in the 2024 draft, Hill was signed for an over-slot deal of $2 million out of Grapevine High School in Texas, Hill was the only pitcher taken in the Twins’ first eight picks of the 2024 draft.

In 2025, he pitched with both Low-A Fort Myers and High-A Cedar Rapids. Across 19 starts and 62 innings, he had 83 strikeouts with a 3.19 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. At 20 years old, Hill is listed at 165 pounds, so one would think he could still fill out his frame some, which could help him as he continues to develop. Despite the lack of innings, Hill was named by Twins Daily as the Twins Minor League Starting Pitcher of the Year in 2025. 

What’s Left to Work On
Like many young pitchers, Hill will need to reign in his command, as he had a 5.8 BB/9 rate this past season. Given his pitch mix, he projects to improve on those numbers, but it is something to keep an eye on and will be a part of taking a step forward. 

Another thing will be to stay healthy and continue working toward a starter’s workload, so pitching over 100 innings this year, would be a great accomplishment in doing this. 

What’s Next:
Hill will be pitching his second professional season in 2026, so getting more innings and facing more hitters will be key in the next step of his development. 

He will likely start the year with High-A Cedar Rapids and pitch most of the year there, and as long as things go as planned, he may get his first taste of Double-A toward the end of the season, much like he did this past season, getting three starts at High-A after spending most of the year with Low-A Fort Myers. 

With plenty of upside, keep an eye on Hill and how he continues to grow and round out his approach in his second full season in the Twins organization.
