Runelvys Hernandez Autographed 2004 Topps Total #445 Kansas City Royals Card
Featuring Runelvys Hernandez with the Kansas City Royals, this Runelvys Hernandez autographed 2004 Topps Total #445 Kansas City Royals card comes from the expansive Topps Total series, a set known for its large checklist and emphasis on representing players throughout Major League rosters.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Hernandez made his Major League debut with the Kansas City Royals in 2002 at age 24. He immediately joined the starting rotation and went 4-4 with a 4.36 ERA across 12 starts during his rookie season.
Hernandez opened the 2003 season as one of the most promising young pitchers on the Kansas City staff. He won his first four decisions as the Royals raced to a surprising 9-0 start and eventually reached 16-3. Hernandez finished the year 7-5 with a 3.64 ERA in 16 starts before an elbow injury ended his season.
The injury required Tommy John surgery and caused Hernandez to miss the entire 2004 Major League season. He successfully returned to the Royals rotation in 2005, making 29 starts, and followed with a career-high 34 starts and 176 2/3 innings in 2006.
Hernandez pitched four Major League seasons, all with Kansas City, making 78 starts among his 80 appearances and recording 25 victories. The 2004 Topps Total #445 is an appealing Royals issue for Runelvys Hernandez fans, Kansas City collectors, Topps Total set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
