Under his leadership San Diego has averaged 33 wins per season, including winning a then school record 39 games in 2002, a year in which Hill was honored by his peers as the wee Coach of the Year. Hill became one of the young– est coaches in collegiate history to reach 500 career victories in 2003, taking USO into postseason play and a second consecutive NCAA Regional appearance. Scheduling the nation's top com– petition, Hill owns a 309-219-3 (.585) overall record as San Diego's manager. In turn, Hill has brought the school national notoriety, earn– ing a No. 4 national ranking by Collegiate Baseball, its highest in school history. Following a 35-21 season in 2004, seven of Hill's eight graduating seniors signed professional con– tracts. That same season a record 1 O USO players were recognized as AII -WCC performers, with five play– ers being selected in the ' 04 MLB First Year Player Draft. This past June six more Toreros were drafted and signed by Major League clubs. The 46-year-old Hill is a proven winner.

In his first head coaching job as the manager at Cal Lu, he won 83% of his games during his final three seasons (1991-93). Hill led Cal Lutheran to a record of 194- 76 (.719) over six seasons, includ– ing two World Series appearances. His 1990 team won the first-ever district championship in school
