***OFFICIAL Noah Cameron MLB Debut: Royals @ Rays 4.30.25 GDT***

While the Royals proceed with caution with Ragans, they’re turning to one of their top pitching prospects for the spot start. The 25-year-old Cameron has a 3.22 ERA in five starts (22 1/3 innings) in Triple-A Omaha so far this season. In 2024, he posted a 3.08 ERA in Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A with 149 strikeouts and just 36 walks across 128 2/3 innings. The Royals added Cameron to the 40-man roster this past offseason, and he competed for a spot on the pitching staff in Spring Training.

The Royals knew they’d likely have to dip into their pitching depth at some point this year, and Cameron was their top option.

“There’s a lot to like about him,” Quatraro said. “He’s got good stuff, he’s got good poise. We think he can get righties and lefties out. He’s physical. … He worked on the cutter last year, added the slider this spring. He’s got a plus changeup, plus curveball. He’s got a lot of stuff we like.”

Cameron is a native of St. Joseph, Mo., and grew up a Royals fan living just north of Kansas City. He was the club’s seventh-round pick in the 2021 Draft out of Central Arkansas. After some injuries early in his career -- including Tommy John surgery that he had while still in college -- Cameron has steadily improved throughout his time in the Minors.

He has a five-pitch mix after adding a slider this spring. While he doesn’t overpower hitters with his 92-93 mph fastball, his game is all about his command. Cameron’s 9.0% walk rate in the small sample size of five starts this year is the highest it’s ever been; he had a 5.1% walk rate in Triple-A last year (6.7% between the two levels).

On Wednesday, he’ll get a chance to show that skillset for his hometown team in the big leagues.

In.

wazu 04-30-2025 12:14 PM

Will be rooting for the kid from St. Joe as much as the Royals tonight. Hopefully he can do to the Rays what other pitchers traditionally do to the Royals during their MLB debuts.

PHOG 04-30-2025 12:30 PM

Good luck Noah! And good luck to Tyler to steal 2nd, 3rd, and home!! LET'S GO ROYALS!! :clap:

cmh6476 04-30-2025 12:59 PM

My son is a senior on the baseball team and gets to make occasional starts for Central HS, where Noah pitched. Has to be pretty cool for my son to think a kid in the same place as him seven years ago is now pitching for the Royals.

Vladimir_Kyrilytch 04-30-2025 02:09 PM

Bad news for the Royals: they are up against Drew Rasmussen. He went to Oregon State. Gotta feel bad for Cameron having to go up against a Beaver like that. Real tough draw.

Then again Matt Boyd is on the mound today for the Cubs and he also went to Oregon State.

If you're in the majors, you're gonna end up facing a lot of Beavs is the bottom line.

Vinnie Dong!! 2-0 Rs

Vladimir_Kyrilytch 04-30-2025 05:12 PM

I forgot the Rays are playing in a little league field this season. Total was only 7.5 too. What a wasted opportunity to have hit the over.

A winning bet not made is the same as a losing bet, as I always say.

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 05:18 PM

Gatdamn Cameron, five pitch debut inning? Nice work!

PHOG 04-30-2025 05:19 PM

Cameron with a 5 pitch major league debut 1st inning 1-2-3.

cmh6476 04-30-2025 05:20 PM

Overreaction time...dfa Stratton, lorenzen to the pen and it's Noah's time to shine PBJ

They said last night the Yankees have closely mirrored the dimensions to Yankee stadium so they can ramp up practicing in the similar layout to their home turf in spring training.

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 05:31 PM

Ump certainly giving Cameron the rookie treatment in this inning.

BWillie 04-30-2025 05:32 PM

Cameron is apparently the Royals #5 prospect.

PHOG 04-30-2025 05:34 PM

DP to end the inning!

PHOG 04-30-2025 05:38 PM

Isbel with ANOTHER base running blunder.

PHOG 04-30-2025 05:40 PM

And witt gets caught stealing. Way to squander the leadoff runner with no outs.

Witt gets caught stealing far too much for my liking.

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 05:42 PM

This team seriously needs to write Rusty Kuntz a blank check and get his ass back to coaching these mofos how to run the bases.

Yeah, I don't really understand someone that fast getting caught as often as he does.

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 05:44 PM

Wonder if Drew is any relation to Dennis Rasmussen... Anyone here remember that guy? He was kinda the anti-Big Unit. Big tall lefty who threw nothing but soft, softer and softer junk.

PHOG 04-30-2025 05:46 PM

I remember the name, but not the person.

cmh6476 04-30-2025 05:47 PM

This is really awesome watching the st joe fam represent

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 05:50 PM

Damn, are we looking at a 90 minute game? This thing is flying along...

I think at this point we can admit Witt Jr, despite being perhaps the fastest player in MLB baseball, just isn't very good at stealing. And should probably do it less because of his value as well. Don't want him getting hurt.

I don't know, but he is mowing them down....40 pitches after 4 IP. :clap:

big nasty kcnut 04-30-2025 05:55 PM

I not going to say anything but Cameron looking like he might do something special

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 06:03 PM

Atta boy Bobby! That's the kind of timely hitting we've been missing!

Why Not? 04-30-2025 06:03 PM

My God, what an amazing piece of hitting by BWJ.

cmh6476 04-30-2025 06:06 PM

1000 total bases in 500 career games is phenomenal.

Fansy the Famous Bard 04-30-2025 06:06 PM

Hope he can keep the efficiency with his pitches going

PHOG 04-30-2025 06:06 PM

3-0 good guys, middle of the 5th

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 06:07 PM

Vinnie has really turned into the lefty version of Rob Deer. Just a pull happy, swing out of your shoes hacker. Dude needs to look at some of his old tapes, or a Mike Sweeney type.

cmh6476 04-30-2025 06:09 PM

Cavan Biggio is no Craig Biggio.

He was billed as a guy in milb that had patience but he just swung at a couple balls that almost hit him. He is becoming a more free swinger by the day. Maybe that what being friends with Salvy will do

2 feet outside, pulls it to left

Damn, look at Salvy hustling for third!

The Tampa LF looks like a kitty kat with his black liner.

How cute.

Back to back clown at bats by Waters and Renfroe.

Waters gets a pass.

Renfrow: **** you!

wazu 04-30-2025 06:21 PM

Rex with a "wow" acting shocked that Hunter Renfrow strikes out on 3 pitches with runners in scoring position. Did anybody on the planet think he'd do something better?

srvy 04-30-2025 06:21 PM

dammit we never get these guys home with no outs.

cmh6476 04-30-2025 06:22 PM

Cavan Biggio is no Craig Biggio.

BWillie 04-30-2025 06:22 PM

That about as hard as Biggio can hit a baseball.

GabyKeepsMeWarm 04-30-2025 06:22 PM

Goddamn... Biggio was one batter too late. Shit ab's from Waters and Renfroe **** us again...

ping2000 04-30-2025 06:22 PM

Please, someone, take a torpedo bat and take out Renfroe. What a useless ****.

He was . . . . . . once upon time.

Now he’s regurgitated dog shit and a waste of a roster spot.

TomBarndtsTwin 04-30-2025 06:30 PM

I’m not sure about his ‘stuff’, but the kid throws strikes. I’ll give him that.

68 pitches, 40 strikes.

That said, if you keep hanging sliders up in the zone like that, good major league hitters will destroy that shit.

Lucky were facing the Rays and not the Yankees.

Fish 04-30-2025 06:30 PM

That was a really impressive inning for Cameron.

BWillie 04-30-2025 06:30 PM

Noah Cameron tossin a No Hitter thru six! Lets torch his arm leggo

cmh6476 04-30-2025 06:31 PM

In my experience as a Royals fan, most years this guy would go into the season as the #2 starter. Our logjam means he'll likely be back in Omaha sooner than later.

Yeah big tall lefty with 4 decent pitches and accuracy should play well.

ping2000 04-30-2025 06:34 PM

I will admit that Isbel is playing better after the non stop shit I threw at him. Renfroe has replaced him for now as the new target.

Some of y’all get too excited (about the possibility of a no hitter). Nobody should give a shit about a no hitter/perfect game until after 7 innings.
