Biographical Information

Nick Hill was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 47th round of the 2006 amateur draft, but U.S. Military Academy rules prevented him from signing. The Seattle Mariners drafted him in the 7th round of the 2007 amateur draft, the highest ever for a player from Army. He was signed by scout Rob Mummau for $70,000 and allowed to begin his pro career under the military's alternative-service option.

During his time as a player, Hill participated in recruiting efforts in the minor league cities he was assigned to and met with perspective cadets in the off-season.
