In 109 appearances for the three affiliates, he batted a cumulative .265/.366/.360 with three home runs, 45 RBI, and 30 stolen bases.[2] Hill made 87 appearances split between Sacramento, Richmond, and the rookie–level Arizona Complex League Giants during the 2025 season, batting a combined .266/.365/.378 with two home runs, 29 RBI, and 20 stolen bases.[3]

Hill began the 2026 season with Richmond before being quickly promoted to Sacramento; in 88 appearances for the River Cats, he slashed .353/.420/.529 with nine home runs, 60 RBI, and 23 stolen bases.[4] On August 11, 2026, Hill homered to extend his hitting streak to 26 consecutive games, passing Daric Barton for the Sacramento franchise record.[5] On August 13, Hill was selected to the 40–man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[6]
