3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies minor league first baseman Darick Hill continues to work hard in the minors in hopes of earning a call to the Show. He has certainly made his presence felt as of late, going 11-for-25 with four homers, 13 RBI, four walks, and five strikeouts over the course of six games from April 17 to 23. He went yard 89 times over the last four years and, currently in his second year at Triple-A, has positioned himself nicely as a potential replacement on the Phillies' active roster in case a vacancy appears at first base. Power has been the biggest part of Hall's game thus far. He is capable of putting a charge into the baseball in big spots. However, his overall hitting approach has also been impressive. Most notably, Hall has walked in more than 10 percent of trips to the plate while striking out in less than 16. Those are good clips for any player, but especially one who focuses so much on power. It doesn't appear that he has had to make too many sacrifices with his hitting approach in order to keep swatting homers.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
