Fred Hill, Jr. (born July 15, 1934) was the head baseball coach at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he served from 1984 through 2013. He earned 13 NCAA Baseball Tournament bids at the school. Hill was also a head baseball and football coach for the Montclair State University Red Hawks in Upper Montclair, New Jersey. He compiled an overall college baseball coaching record of 1,089–749–9.
In seven seasons as football head coach he compiled a record of 52–16–4, including four New Jersey State Athletic Conference titles. He also led them to the school's first 10-win season in 1981. As the Red Hawks' baseball coach, Hill went 148–91–1 in seven seasons. For his highly successful coaching efforts he was inducted into the Montclair State University Hall of Fame. His jersey number was also just the third to ever be retired at MSU, joining Sam Mills and Carol Blazejowski.
Hill served as the Rutgers Scarlet Knights head baseball coach, a position that he held since from the 1984 through 2013 seasons. He recorded a record of 941–658–7 at Rutgers alone and sent 72 different players in 30 years to professional baseball careers. When Hill announced his retirement prior to the start of the 2014 NCAA baseball season, his 1,089 career wins ranked him 11th in college baseball history. He was named the A-10 Coach of the Year three times and Big East Coach of the Year once.
