Hill, who played for Palomar College in 2010, was nominated for the award to recognize his commitment to community outreach and charitable endeavors. Each Major League Baseball team nominates one player for the award, which will be announced later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing award to be nominated for. It\u2019s not for player of the year, it\u2019s for man of the year,\u201d Adams said. \u201cIt says a lot about the Palomar College program and the school environment. Tim is a great representative of what we hope to emanate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill has been sidelined since July with a finger issue in his pitching hand. He attended Palomar College before transferring to Bacone College in Oklahoma, where he was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 2014 draft. During spring training in 2015, Hill was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent eight months of chemotherapy before he was cleared to play. He joined the major leagues in 2018 and was traded to the Padres in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill\u2019s own experience with colon cancer has given him a special interest in young cancer patients, leading to his close involvement with Rady\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital. \u201cHe has taken advantage of his \u2018second chance\u2019 to make a difference in others\u2019 lives in San Diego,\u201d the Padres said in their nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Padres said Hill is a frequent attendee at the Rady Children\u2019s Hospital Celebration of Champions event, where pediatric cancer patients and family members perform an Olympic-style event passing the \u201ctorch of life\u201d from one to another symbolizing their determination to fight their disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo matter how many kids attend, Tim straps his shoes on and never stops running while getting to know each individual child, cheering them on every step of the way,\u201d the Padres said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a group of teens from Rady\u2019s visited the Padres during spring training in Arizona, \u201cTim was the first to run out and greet the group,\u201d the Padres said in their nomination. \u201cHe shared his personal story and connected with them by inspiring them to see that anything is possible.\u201d After a day on the field, Hill joined the group on a planned trip to a video arcade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill also regularly donates blood at the Padres\u2019 annual blood drive and interacts with Make a Wish kids who visit the ballpark, the team said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Padres played in Mexico, Hill held a baseball clinic with 250 youngsters from Liga Olmeca and YMCA Mexico and encouraged his teammates to join him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTim encourages youth to pursue their dreams, teaching them values and hard work and instilling a sense of community service,\u201d the Padres wrote. \u201cTim plays an essential role in shaping the next generation of leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the San Diego Padres nominated relief pitcher Tim Hill for the &nbsp;Roberto Clemente Award, Palomar College Baseball Coach took a moment to reflect on what the nomination meant.
