His stats look pretty nice so far too. Will be interesting to see how he gets on next year if they toss him into low-A.

Seems to get a lot of ground balls as well. Good sink?

Secondary pitches? Or is he more likely a hard throwing reliever?

I’ve followed Trevor at Cowley County as well…he throws that hard…there were scouts at his game, and each gun had him in the mid 90′s…95, 93…94…96….

There are two possibilities here that I can see. One is that they’re displaying some of the stuff in the system’s bargain bin, in the hope of still getting in some pre-9/1 trade action with Hill as a pot sweetener. I don’t entirely agree with whoever said he has negligible trade value; a bat will play, and not every system has a Daric Barton Lite (and Old…) in it, which is what Hill looks like.

The other, which I really hope is correct, is that something has happened to convince the team that he really IS wielding a major-league bat, and they want to give it a more careful look with the big team. Consider: suppose he’s made some manner of recent breakthrough and his power surge is real. Would you rather have a guy with Hill’s enhanced toolkit on the roster, or Stavinoha’s?

Guns in the low minors are often all over the place.

I watched Trevor Rosenthal pitch…guys, this kid is going to be a top prospect…The Kid was SITTING 95-96…and touching 97…and no one is talking aout him. He JUST turned 20 as well…He has a nasty slider as well…

I’m going to go out on a limb, and say he ends up in the top 10 in our system at some point…incredible stuff!
