i9s

Pete Hill was, for close to a decade, one of the small handful of players arguing over who was the best baseball player on the planet.

Deadball era players are hard to recognize, but imagine 95% of Willie Mays–slightly less power, a slightly worse arm in CF. But 95% of Willie Mays is a clear Hall of Famer, right?

Hill hit for average, developed good control of the strike zone over the second half of his career, and hit for a lot of power, especially for his time. We have him retiring in the top 5 in hits and doubles, and tied (!) with Roger Connor for the all time HR lead.

We’ve added some early years for Hill, and have him retiring in his late 30’s instead of hanging on well into his 40’s.

The truly great players require the most attention in revision: I think a lot can change with Hill as we get better at era adjustments and as we dig deeper in his year over year performance. But the essential shape is there.
