Scouting Report: Darius Hill
Chicago Cubs | RF
Overall
Summary
Darius Hill is a 19-year-old shortstop prospect in the Yankees organization who has not played in a game for them in 2026 due to a hamstring injury. Despite missing the entire season so far, his stock has risen significantly, climbing 24 spots on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prospect list from No. 94 in January to No. 70. This remarkable rise is based on his impressive 2025 pro debut at Single-A Tampa, where he hit .353/.457 with 2 doubles, 2 triples, 9 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases across 18 games. He is currently the third-ranked Yankees prospect. Hill is ramping up baseball activities during his rehab, with a potential return to the field in May remaining realistic if recovery continues on track.
