Before his final season as quarterback at TCU, Kenny Hill gave baseball one more look.
With coach Gary Patterson’s permission, Hill said he worked out for the San Diego Padres last summer just out of curiosity.
“It went OK,” he said last week after TCU’s Alamo Bowl victory against Stanford. “Didn’t hit as well as I thought I was going to. I was just rusty. I worked, practiced a little bit, but it wasn’t anything too serious.”
Hill, the son of former Texas Rangers pitcher Ken Hill, hit .481 with four home runs as a senior third baseman at Southlake Carroll in 2013.
