This Wild Stat About New Red Sox Pitcher Rich Hill May Surprise You
Hill has a 1.34 ERA as a member of the Red Sox
Free agent pitcher Rich Hill reportedly is re-joining the Boston Red Sox.
The 41-year-old has spent four seasons with the Red Sox over the course of his 17-year career and always was impressive.
To put Hill’s performance with the Red Sox into perspective, he has the lowest ERA in team history for a player to pitch at least 50 innings with 1.34, according to Major League Baseball researcher Andrew Simon.
For a team that has players like Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Jonathan Papelbon and even Cy Young it’s certainly surprising to hear the news.
Hill primarily was a relief pitcher during his prior stints in Boston, but in recent years has become an extremely efficient starting rotation player and could bring a lot to the team, especially after the departure of fellow left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodríguez.
We bet you weren’t expecting that.
