It's not shocking that Hill is slowly wafting into the next stage of his career. Though he did pitch in the 2025 season, he was easily the oldest player in the league. He was 45 years old when he suited up for the Royals and will turn 46 in March. Though he has continued pitching to an age when most other players have called it quits long ago, he did so with some unconventional approaches.
After a college career that spanned two seasons at Ohio State and one at Arkansas, the Braves took Landon Beidelschies in the 6th round of the 2025 draft, using the 187th selection on the Razorback.

Obviously since he was a 2025 draftee, the expectations for Beidelschies were understandably low.
The Red Sox are continuing to utilize a lineup full of right-handed bats against left-handed pitching, featuring Nate Eaton, Romy Gonzalez, Rob Refsnyder, Trevor Story, and Ceddanne Rafaela prominently placed.
