Rich Hill, who was MLB's oldest pitcher at 45 last year, is exploring the possibility of an MLB comeback in 2027. He turns 47 in March and is considering a new pitching approach.
Hill mentioned that pitcher Taylor Rogers has inspired him to consider returning as a submariner. This style involves a unique arm angle, which could help Hill, whose fastball averaged 88.3 mph last season, extend his career.
He is not currently working on this delivery but plans to prepare during the offseason. Hill aims to find a new role, potentially in the bullpen or as a starter, to help a team.
Hill's extensive career began in 2005 and has seen him play for a record-tying 14 teams. He hopes to avoid definitive retirement, stating he doesn't want to regret not trying.
