He was an honorable-mention Northwest Oregon Conference all-star in 2018, when he was 1-0 with a 3.62 ERA in five games, with nine strikeouts in 9.2 innings for the Wildcats, who lost in the quarterfinals of the OSAA 5A state tournament.
Hill is one of six pitchers the Knights have added to provide early-season depth before all the full-time signees report. He joins fellow 10-day signees Colton Meyer (Linfield), Bradley Emmens (George Fox), Tanner Van Lith (Big Bend CC), Trace Hokkanen (Mt. Hood CC) and Jackson Arnsdorf (Corban).
The Knights open the 2019 season on May 29 with the team's eighth annual Science, Engineering & Art Day game at Goss Stadium. Their WCL opener is June 4 at Walla Walla; their WCL home opener is June 14 against Cowlitz.
