Rest-of-Season Projections
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.

May be in lead for starting job
Hill appears to be ahead of Dane Myers in the battle for the Marlins' starting center field job, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Neither player has been lighting it up at the plate, but Hill is the more reliable defender and has shown a bit more power this spring, managing a .259/.375/.481 slash line and two homers through 32 plate appearances. Jesus Sanchez has also been getting some work in center, so there may be more than two horses in the race, but the Marlins are more comfortable with his glove in right field. Even if Hill wins the Opening Day assignment, he may not see a full-time workload, as the team tries to find ways to get both Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine into the lineup as well. Miami's outfield remains a muddle, and Hill's career .629 OPS over 476 big-league plate appearances will make him an unappealing fantasy option even if he gets significant playing time.

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.

Lots of spots are up for grabs in the NL East this spring, including up to three spots in the Nationals' rotation, where DJ Herz leads a group of flawed but intriguing candidates.

Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2017
2016
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.
