Rockies' Jaden Hill: Throwing live BP

Hill (elbow) threw live batting practice at the Rockies' spring training facility in mid-June, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The Rockies selected Hill in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft, a few months after he underwent Tommy John surgery. Reports from his session were positive, as Hill is already able to sit in the mid-to-upper 90s with his fastball and is throwing both his off-speed and breaking pitches. Hill will start at the Arizona Complex League once activated from the injured list, and he'll be monitored carefully by the club.
