ESPN reported the death, saying Daniel Volquez, 63, died of heart disease complications.
Royals spokeman Mike Swanson told BuzzFeed News in an email that Volquez's wife initially asked that he not be told about his father's death. Volquez eventually did find out about the death, though Swanson said he did not know when that happened.
The Royals were playing the New York Mets in Kansas City Tuesday night, and Volquez served as his team's starting pitcher.
According to the AP, Volquez was introduced to baseball as a 10-year-old by his father, who worked professionally as a mechanic. Volquez has described his parents as his biggest supporters, the AP also reported.
