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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The streak continues

Vinnie Dong!! 2-0 Rs

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.

Gatdamn Cameron, five pitch debut inning? Nice work!

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