He has played for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, and San Francisco Giants.
Hill is one of just five players in baseball history to reach the cycle twice in a season.
Early life
In Park City, Utah, Hill and his friends were playing in a soccer tournament. A college student barely made it to Hill's car and slammed into his mother's vehicle following him as they went to a round of golf. Vicki Hill's mother was killed as a result.
College career
Hill was originally drafted by the Anaheim Angels in the seventh round (200th overall) of the 2000 MLB draft. Hill turned down the invitation, preferring to attend Louisiana State University and play for the varsity Tigers baseball team. Hill, a senior at LSU, had a.335 batting average with 23 home runs and 150 RBIs. He played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League in 2001, and was named a league all-star and the playoff MVP of Wareham's league championship team.
Professional career
Hill was Toronto's first draft pick (13th overall) in the 2003 MLB draft, and he made his major league debut against the Washington Nationals on May 20, 2005, after being called up from the minor leagues a day earlier as a injury replacement for Corey Koskie. Hill would finish the game 2-for-4 and earned an RBI triple off Nationals pitcher Claudio Vargas for his first appearance as the Blue Jays defeated the Blue Jays, 6-1. Despite being called up as a shortstop, Hill was seen as both a third baseman and a second baseman during the season. He had a.274 batting average, 348 OBP, and 25 doubles in 361 at-bats for the 2005 season. Hill was the starting second baseman for the Blue Jays in 2006 after his release of Russ Adams. He was then moved to second base after suffering with defensive difficulties at shortstop, with John McDonald taking over at shortstop.
Hill became only the second player in the Blue Jays history to complete a "straight steal" of home against the New York Yankees on May 29, 2007.
Hill received the Fielding Bible Award at second base for his fielding excellence in 2007.
Hill signed a four-year, $12 million contract on April 4, 2008 that included a club option that could have lasted through the 2014 season. If Toronto had kept Hill in the fold for the seven years, the agreement would have been worth as much as $38 million.
Hill sustained a Grade II concussion while playing against teammate David Eckstein on May 29 in a match against the Oakland Athletics. Hill did not return to the team until the end of the season.
Hill recovered from his concussion during spring training. Hill was chosen by executives and players to attend the All-Star Game in St. Louis on July 5, 2009. Hill had 37 doubles, 36 home runs, 108 runs batted in, and a batting average of.286 in 158 games. Hill received the AL Comeback Player of the Year Award following the season. He was named the Year of the Blue Jays by the year's greatest player. He was also honoured with his second Fielding Bible Award.
The Blue Jays announced that they had cut the three option years on Hill's contract ahead of their first game of the 2011 season. On April 24, Hill was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 20, with a strained hamstring.
Hill and John McDonald were traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for second baseman Kelly Johnson on August 23, 2011. Hill pitched his first home run as a Diamondback against the San Diego Padres on August 28, with a two-run shot to right field off starter Cory Luebke.
Hill scored his first postseason home run in Game 4 of the 2011 NLDS. The Diamondbacks will, on the other hand, lose the division series to the Milwaukee Brewers in 5 games.
The Diamondbacks resigned Hill to a two-year, $11 million contract extension following the 2011 season.
Hill, who was promoted to the top of the order, went 2-for-4 against the Giants in the first and second innings, both off of Madison Bumgarner. This came after going 0-for-4 on Opening Day and landing eighth. The D-Backs took the spoils by beating 5–4 on Thursday.
Hill hit the Seattle Mariners on June 18, 2012, breaking for the cycle for the second time. Hill hit the Milwaukee Brewers in 1931, becoming the first modern-era player to do so in one month (John Reilly hit cycles a week apart in 1883).
Hill was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers along with Chase Anderson, Isan Diaz, and bank account for Jean Segura and Tyler Wagner on January 30, 2016. Hill was on the streets on May 7, 2016, hitting three home runs and driving in seven runs. In the eighth inning, he had a game-tying home run and a go-ahead grand slam in the tenth inning. In his previous 82 games, Hill had only hit three home runs.
The Brewers traded Hill to the Boston Red Sox for Aaron Wilkerson and Wendell Rijo on July 7, 2016.
Hill signed a minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants on February 17, 2017. Hill had just a.132 batting average with a home run, 7 RBI, and a strikeout to walk ratio of 13/11 through 80 plate appearances. He was scheduled for service on June 24, but he was released five days later.
