An opportunity might have presented itself last week when LSU’s Jaden Hill tore his UCL in his start while facing off against Vanderbilt and fellow top five selection Jack Leiter. Going into the season, Hill was seen as a Top 5-10 pick as a hard-throwing starter with multiple pitches after dominating from the bullpen last season. The injury will now cost him his season and perhaps some draft bonus money as he’s unlikely to go in the top 10 picks now.
Based on stuff, Hill has some of the best in the draft with a fastball he can run into the upper 90s, a plus changeup, an improving slider, and a cutter in the low 90s.
