2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hill was designated for assignment three times last season, twice by the Rangers, then by the Giants. He finished the year with the Marlins. Hill struggled at all three stops, though he recorded a career high 53 games and 172 plate appearances. He also fanned at a career worst 32.6 percent clip, albeit with an impressive 11.0 percent barrel rate. Hill runs with 95th percentile sprint speed and has a strong arm but still grades below average on defense. At best, Hill is a short side of a platoon outfielder, with minimal mixed league appeal.

Lands on IL due to wrist sprain
The Marlins placed Hill on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left wrist sprain, retroactive to Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hill started out the season strongly, but he has failed to record a hit in each of his last four games. Those struggles may have been due in part to his wrist injury, which is severe enough to necessitate a trip to the IL. Hill's absence should open the door for Dane Myers and Javier Sanoja to see more playing time in the outfield, though Jesus Sanchez could also shift over from designated hitter to the outfield to fill in the gap left by Hill. Graham Pauley was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Stat Review
How does Derek Hill compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Todd Zola figures the two Pennsylvania clubs could boost underwhelming MLB offensive numbers by appearing seven times in the coming week.

Red Sox hitters look like strong choices this week with four home games against the Blue Jays followed by an away series at the White Sox.

Todd Zola debuts his Weekly Hitter Rankings for the season where a couple teams will be playing seven times over the next seven days.

2015
A first-round pick by the Tigers in 2014, Hill has carried the "bust" label for several years now due to injury and middling performance. He is still just 27 years old, however, and showed in his brief sample with Detroit last year that he can still turn on the burners, posting sprint speed ranking in the 97th percentile. Hill appeared in 80 MLB games over the past two seasons and slashed .248/.297/.351 with 70 strikeouts, four home runs and nine steals in 12 attempts -- certainly not great, but not completely embarrassing for a player who can play a high-level center field. The Nationals brought Hill in on a minor-league contract with an invitation to major-league spring training. Washington will have a lot of at-bats to spread around in the first full year of its rebuild, and Hill could end up with some of those, if mostly by attrition over the course of a long season.
