Veteran left-hander Hill, 45, signed a minor league deal and has shown promising results in the minor leagues with a 3.32 ERA over 19 innings. Despite a high strikeout rate of 31.5% and a low walk rate of 4.1%, inconsistency remains, particularly between his Complex League and Triple-A outings. His past major league performance includes a solid first half in 2023 with the Pirates but a faded second half. With an opt-out on June 15 approaching, the club faces a decision on calling him up to the majors.
Hill's impressive strikeout rates and ERA in the minors raise questions about his potential effectiveness at the major league level given his age.
While Hill has experienced significant success in his past seasons, his recent performance and age create uncertainty about his ability to compete with major league hitters.
