Aaron Hill, Toronto Blue Jays first round draft pick from 2003, born in Visalia California, March 21st 1982, made his debut in the Jays lineup May 20, 2005. He went on to play in 105 games that year for Canada's only remaining Major League Baseball team.

Aaron Hill caught the attention of fans and players alike in the 2007 MLB season. He finished 18th in the league in hits with 177, and 25th in the league with 87 runs scored. More impressively for a 2nd baseman, he hit 17 home runs, had 78 RBI's (Runs batted in), as well as a very respectable 47 doubles.

After his impressive 2007 campaign, Hill only played in 55 games in the 2008 season, which was limited due to injury. Fully healed in 2009 Hill returned to his previous form winning the 2009 American League Comeback Player of the Year.

Aaron Hill's 2009 was not only impressive statistically overall, but more so that Hill plays second base, a position that doesn't produce highly offensively talented players. Hill's batting average was a respectable .286, with 36 home runs (3rd in the entire American League) and 108 runs batted in (5th in the American League). Hill also had 195 hits (5th in the American League) as well as 106 runs scored (6th in the AL). These statistical numbers were all career highs for the rising star, as he represented the Blue Jays in the MLB All Star Game, and was voted Blue Jays MVP.
