Rich Hill, a seasoned MLB pitcher, is continuing his journey in professional baseball at the age of 45. Even though he could opt out of his contract with the Kansas City Royals on June 15, Hill has chosen to stay with the team’s Triple-A affiliate, where he has notably performed well, boasting a 2.81 ERA and impressive strikeout rates in his appearances for the Omaha Storm Chasers. However, he remains open to a major league opportunity, as the Royals would release him if another franchise makes an offer.

Throughout his career, Hill has made a name for himself by pitching for 13 different teams since his debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2005. His exceptional versatility on the mound has seen him alternate between starting and relief roles, and he notably had a successful stretch with the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2016 to 2019. As he continues this chapter with the Royals, it will be interesting to see if he can transition back to the majors once again.
