Hill played college baseball for the Michigan Wolverines. He was chosen three times in the MLB draft (1999, 2001, 2002) before signing with the Cubs. Hill has earned both American League and National League Pitcher of the Month honors. He is the only pitcher in Major League history to have had a perfect game broken up by a 9th-inning fielding error as well as the only pitcher in Major League history to have a no-hitter broken up in extra innings by a walk-off home run (both of which occurred in the same game). At 44 years old, Hill is currently the oldest active MLB player.
