Bentley University

Through his first three years as the Bentley baseball head coach, Mike Hill has led the Falcons to new heights. The 2024 squad captured a program-record 29 wins. Just one year later, the 2025 Falcons became the first team in program to reach 30+ wins (33). 

That historic 2025 season saw Bentley come away several major Northeast-10 awards. Hill was named the Northeast-10 Coach of the Year, Brendan Sencaj was the Northeast Division Player of the Year, Pat Heber was the division's Pitcher of the Year, and Zach Eigenbrod was the division's Rookie Pitcher of the Year. Sencaj and Heber both earned All-Region honors, and Sencaj added an Academic All-American honor to his resume. 

After more than two decades as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Hill became just the second head baseball coach in Bentley history on July 1, 2022. He succeeded the legendary Bob DeFelice, who led the Falcons for 54 years.

In his first two seasons, Hill has compiled a 52-41 record.

A former Bentley baseball All-America and Northeast-10 Player of the Year, Hill served as an assistant baseball coach at his alma mater for 21 years. 

Hill, a 2005 inductee into the Bentley Athletic Hall of Fame, was a standout for the Falcons from 1994-97 and is considered by many to be the best player to ever wear a Bentley uniform. The East Bridgewater native is the program's all-time leader in home runs (43), total bases (387), RBI (191) and slugging percentage (.763), and his .379 career batting average ranks second in school history. In 1996 alone, he hit .410, slugged 19 home runs (a single season school record), leading Division II in home runs per game, and knocked in 68 runs (a single season school record).

Following graduation, Hill was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 41st round and played a season with the Sarasota White Sox in the Gulf Coast League in 1997. Hill's younger bother Roger was also a standout at Bentley from 1997-2000 and is the school's all-time leader in hits with 239.

Hill graduated from Bentley in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Management. He currently resides in Mansfield with his wife Cheryl and daughter, Kiley.

Hill was inducted into the Northeast-10 Conference Hall of Fame in June 2007, the Cranberry League Hall of Fame in 2009 and the East Bridgewater High School Hall of Fame in 2021.
