Rich Hill Defies Age and History by Joining Record-Tying 14th MLB Team with Royals Call-Up!
Hill’s role with the Royals isn’t yet clear, as the team hasn’t officially announced his recall. Kansas City’s starting pitcher for Tuesday’s matchup with the Chicago Cubs is TBD as of Monday, so Hill could get the start in that game. All nine of Hill’s appearances for Triple-A Omaha were starts, averaging 4 2/3 innings. He collected a 5.36 ERA with 48 strikeouts and 25 walks in 42 innings.
In his July 13 start against the Toledo Mud Hens, Hill notched 10 strikeouts while allowing one run and four hits. With that, he became the first 45-year-old to reach double-digit strikeouts in a professional baseball game since Nolan Ryan did so against the Athletics on Aug. 6, 1992, according to FanSided.
