Barry Zito’s incredible ‘Masked Singer’ run as Rhino came to an end

The pitcher was unmasked on Wednesday.

Just because it was pretty obvious that the Rhino on this season of The Masked Singer was former Cy Young-winning pitcher Barry Zito doesn’t take away from his amazing run on the FOX singing competition show.

Zito made it all the way to the semifinals and performed a Tim McGraw song, Humble and Kind that had judge Nicole Scherzinger wiping away tears. But his run ended and Zito — who has a post-baseball music career — was unmasked and judge Ken Jeong celebrated because he correctly guessed it was the pitcher under there.

Here’s a snippet of his final performance and a post-reveal interview:

Zito joins Rob Gronkowski and Tony Hawk as the athletes who have appeared on this season.
