FLUSHING, NY, August 2, 2026 - "The New York Mets have announced that they have acquired RHP Gary Gill Hill from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for RHP Freddy Peralta. Gill Hill, 21, was born in New Rochelle, NY, and was selected by the Rays in the sixth round of the 2022 First-Year Player Draft out of John F. Kennedy Catholic Preparatory School in Somers, NY. He has made 20 starts between Double-A and High-A this season, going 7-3 with a 4.49 ERA (54 ER/108.1 IP), 23 walks and 87 strikeouts. In 81 career appearances (78 starts) over four minor league seasons, the 6-2, 160-pounder is 19-20 with a 3.99 ERA (175 ER/394.2 IP), 99 walks and 338 strikeouts. The right-hander was a member of Great Britain's team in the 2026 World Baseball Classic."
Gill Hill has been assigned to the Mets Double-A affiliate, Binghamton.
Draft: Drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 6th round of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft from John F. Kennedy Catholic Preparatory School (Somers, NY).
Baseball America said this about Gary Gill Hill: "The spindly righthander works with four- and two-seam fastballs that sit around 93-94 mph and peak at 98. He backs them with a slider, sweeper and changeup. The combination allows him to work both horizontally and vertically, though getting whiffs is not a big part of his game. Instead, he generates grounders with the east-west components of his arsenal."
At the time of the trade he was ranked the #27 prospect in the Rays system by Baseball America, MLB Pipeline now ranks him as the #17 Mets Prospect.
Full Name: Gary Anthony Gill Hill
