Rich Hill to start Tuesday for Royals, his record-tying 14th MLB team

20 seasons.

13 teams.

386 games.

248 Start.

And Rich Hill is not yet finished.

All these figures will increase by one Tuesday evening when the 45 -year -old launcher takes the mound for the Kansas City Royals when they play Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro confirmed on Monday that Hill would be called from Triple-A Omaha, where he went 4-4 with a 5.36 MPM on nine departures and withdrew 10, nine and eight strikers in individual matches this season.

“He did well,” Fourroo told Hill journalists, who launched for the Boston Red Sox last year before signing a minor league agreement with the Royals during the offseason. “He had a few ups and downs, in terms of performance. But when he locked, he was really good.”

At 45 years and 133 days, Hill will be the oldest launcher to start an MLB game since Jamie Myyer of Colorado Rockies (49, 191 days) on May 27, 2012.

Hill will also equalize Edwin Jackson’s record for having played for 14 MLB teams and will do so against the team for which he made his debut in the major league – and in the same park – June 16, 2005.

Between his time with the Cubs and his departure which followed with the Royals, Hill also played for the Orioles of Baltimore, the Red Sox (in four distinct stays), the Indians of Cleveland, the Angels, the Yankees of New York, the Oakland Athletics, the Dodgers, the Twins of Minnesota, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates and Blood Diego Pares.

While his visit to Anaheim was just a simple blip only two games during the 2014 season, Hill had much more impact during his four seasons with the Dodgers, from 2016 to 2019.

During this period, Hill went 30-16 with 427 stick withdrawals and an MPM of 3.16 in the regular season. He appeared in 12 games in the playoff series (three of which are two points from the World Series), spending 1-2 with 62 stick withdrawals and a 2.70 MPM.

“I feel good,” said Hill, entering his last season with the Dodgers and his 15th in the general classification. “I don’t really know where there is enough point is enough. I feel like I could continue for a while. ”

More than six years later, Hill still maintains it.
