THE RICH HILL FILE

Under his leadership San Diego has averaged 33 wins per season, including winning a school-record 44 games in 2008, a year in which Hill was honored by his peers as the wee Coach of the Year. Hill be– came one of the youngest coaches in collegiate history to reach 500 career victories in 2003, taking USD into postseason play and a second consecutive NCAA Regional ap– pearance. Scheduling the nation's top compe– tition, Hill owns a 382-261-3 (.620) overall record as San Diego's man– ager. In turn, Hill has brought the school national notoriety, earning a No. 4 national ranking by Colle– giate Baseball, its highest in school history, during the 2007 season. Following a 35-21 season in 2004, seven of Hill's eight graduating seniors signed professional con– tracts. That same season a record 10 USD 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. Hill is a proven winner. He has a record of success in each of his three head coaching stops - first at his alma mater Cal Lutheran. 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, including two World Series appearances. His 1990 team won the first-ever dis– trict championship in school his– tory. His 1992 squad posted a 43-6 record before falling a couple of outs shy of the NCAA Division Ill title, while the 1993 team finished
