CARDINALS ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF RHP RUSHIL BHAT FOR THE 2023 SEASON

HAMILTON - The Hamilton Cardinals are thrilled to announce the signing of RHP Rushil Bhat for the 2023 season.

Bhat, a native of London, ON is heading into his Junior season at St. Bonaventure University in New York. He put up a solid sophomore season, striking out 18 batters in 29.2 innings of work. Bhat was the Bonnie’s rock out of the bullpen. He led the team in appearances, coming on in relief an impressive 22 times over the course of the season.

“When you speak to Rushil, you realize immediately that he likely pitches with his brain, and he has the ability to navigate through a lot of innings because of that,” said George Halim, Hamilton Cardinals General Manager. “He’s very bright. So I feel like when you don’t own culturally-acceptable velocity, you have no choice but to be a smart arm.”

Bhat previously played at Central Michigan University.
