Infielder Kush Returns for Second Stint with Royals
GUELPH - The Guelph Royals Baseball Club is excited to announce today the signing of infielder Kyle Kush for the 2026 season.
Kush, 27, and the brother of Royals ace Jacob Kush, played with the Royals from 2019-2023 before playing the last two seasons in Austria.
In his first stint with the Royals, the Canisius alum batted a lifetime .255, highlighted by a breakout campaign in 2023, when he batted a whopping .367 with two home runs.
Royals assistant general manager Ryan Eakin said he is happy to have Kush back in the fold.
"Kyle was a big part of our team in 2023, being one of the best stories of that season for us. We are so excited to have him back. He's a great locker room guy, adds to our infield depth, and will give us quality at-bats."
