Anyone know Kenny's plan for the spring?
A few quotes from last year.
“Baseball is absolutely something I want to do,” said Hill, whose dad, former pitcher Ken Hill, spent parts of 14 seasons in the big leagues.
“I love baseball and it’s something I want to still try to keep doing. [A&M] was cool with me playing both here."
Hill is coming off an impressive season playing third base for the Dragons, batting .481 with six doubles, three triples, four home runs and 26 RBIs.

I don't have an answer to your question, but the Ags certainly could use an extra bat in their lineup.

To the OP, I have the same question. My guess is he redshirts in baseball this year due to the QB battle

Damn, did you have to calculate the results by hand?

I’m told with Johnny Manziel going pro to the NFL, 3B Kenny Hill, a talented freshman, will not play baseball for #TAMU. #Aggies #SEC

Instead, Hill will give up baseball and focus on the QB battle for the #Aggies. Hill was a very talented 3B out of high school in Texas.
So I guess that answers that

We haven't had a great history with guys playing baseball and football. Jeff Granger was stellar as a starting pitcher. He was the best pitcher that I ever seen at A&M (going back to 1991). Greg Porter did it too but really underachieved as a baseball player.
Jordan Chambless started off his 2005 freshman season like he was going to be one of the great relief pitchers in program history. I've never seen another freshman with as devastating a curve ball as him. Six weeks into the season, he left the team for spring football workouts (which pissed me off to no end, but he was on a football scholly). He jammed a finger on his pitching hand in football practice and didn't tell anyone on the baseball staff. He was never the same pitcher again. He made some kind of compensation for the pain which wrecked his delivery and ended his 2005 season. He was never able to get his delivery back.
2005 32.0 innings with a 2.25 ERA
2006 26.2 innings with a 4.39 ERA
2007 9.2 innings
2008 3.2 innings
