Hill developed into a top draft prospect after transferring to Ole Miss from Arizona State as a sophomore in 2024. He has experience at third base, shortstop and second base.

Hill was named to the All-SEC second team in 2025. He started 63 games for the Rebels in 2025 and batted .336. He had the best batting average of any Rebel. He also took more walks (46) than strikeouts (43).

Part of Hill’s biggest impact to Ole Miss was in the offseason before 2025. Teammates credited him as a key player in holding Ole Miss baseball’s roster together after stars Liam Doyle and Andrew Fischer transferred to Tennessee.

Hill has the ability to return to college baseball. His projected slot value is $561,400.
