Hill, who enters his 26th year at the helm of the Rutgers program in 2009, has seen 36 of his players move on to professional baseball since 1998.
Located inside the Louis Brown Athletic Center, on the University's Livingston Campus in Piscataway, each member of the camp will enjoy the Scarlet Knights' winter home which features three full-length batting cages complete with pitching machines and several soft toss and tee stations.
