Tyler Hill- OF (signed February 2, 2022)
One of the more intriguing signings was that of Tyler Hill, a former 19th round draft pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2014. At 25-years old, Hill is the youngest signing out of this bunch and could have a lot of room to grow in the organization after being assigned to Double-A Hartford. In his minor league career, Hill has slashed .277/.355/.376 with 20 home runs, 178 RBI, and 99 stolen bases. He has a knack for putting the ball in play and just like Bernard has a lethal weapon in the ability to steal bases.
Hill hasn’t played above A-ball however, so starting in Hartford will be a true test for him as Hartford is a notably difficult stop in the organization. He also hasn’t played in affiliated ball since 2019, after the 2020 season was canceled and he elected free agency. He did spend part of the 2019 season, and the 2021 season with the Winnipeg Goldeyes in the American Association independent league. In 134 games he slashed .321/.423/.473 with 10 home runs, 73 RBI, and 36 stolen bases. He also tallied 96 walks to just 70 strikeouts. If can keep that improvement going, he has a chance to make some noise in the Rockies organization. - SB Nation, purplerow.com
