He will be great but hope he gets traded from there and sent to a more favorable pitching park.
Good luck JH!

I doubt he stays healthy enough to ever see Denver.

I hope that Hill can shake off the injury bug. He definitely has great stuff and great potential.

He sure didn’t do much in college but wish the best for him. He’s a walking injury I hope that changes for him

Because of his injury, will they offer Hill below slot value? Genuinely curious how that works

More leaning towards never justifying that pick .

Probably. It depends who else they draft and what they think they can sign those other draft picks for. I seriously doubt he can get slot with his history.

Why can’t fans just congratulate the kid and wish him the best? I hope he gets slot value and changes his life and others with the money.

Congratulations! Hope you make it to the majors and represent the Tigers well.

Absolutely nothing? Go back & read the Texas coach’s comments after the game in Houston last year.

Basically said Hill’s stuff was so good he shouldn’t be in college. I was there & almost felt sorry for the Texas hitters Jaden mowed down.

His health let him down, otherwise we may have been taking about him going in the draft before Rocker.

Best wishes JH & hope you have a fabulous MLB career.

Congrats Jaden!

Would have gone 1st round. Another injury and still goes in the 2nd. Fortunate and deserving young man.

Some people are being real counts in this thread.

Be the fans players you would want to play for.

Hopefully he doesn’t have to face oral Roberts again

He pitched 51 innings over 3 years. Either the kid has some absolutely nasty stuff or Rockies just taking a shot in the dark. For the 44th pick, that doesn’t seem…prudent.

I wish Jaden nothing but the best. The talent is there but you wonder about the durability, he’s only thrown 51 innings in 3 years. I think if he goes to the ‘pen he’s got a real shot. I’m pulling for him
