Rich Hill, 45, Makes Season Debut As Oldest Player In MLB 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jul 23, 2025 5:02 am

Kansas City\'s Rich Hill seemed a bit rusty in his return to the majors as baseball\'s oldest active player on Tuesday night.

His Royals teammates didn\'t make the 45-year-old left-hander\'s start against the Cubs any easier.

Hill gave up three runs and six hits over five innings in his first major league appearance since last September with Boston. He threw 90 pitches (55 strikes), walking two and striking out one before Jonathan Bowlan took over for the sixth with Chicago leading 3-0.

Nothing against Hill, but if the Royals can’t find a farm hand to call up they are in a sad state of affairs.
