He was in his ninth season in Boston's farm system when he made his big league debut with the Red Sox on August 4, 1964, in a road game against the Minnesota Twins.
In four innings pitched that game, Ritchie allowed two hits and three walks, but did not allow an earned run in the 12–4 loss.
Ritchie's rookie season overall was the best season of his career—in 21 games, he had a 1–1 record with a fine 2.74 earned run average (ERA) in 46 innings.
