The Masked Singer returns with DOUBLE elimination as MLB superstar is unmasked during season 14 premiere

Fox's The Masked Singer returned on Wednesday night for its season 14 premiere.

The show gave this season's competitors a chance to show off their chops for the first time, and also featured a dramatic first double elimination of the season.

Among those unmasked was a beloved professional baseball star, which one of the judges managed to correctly guess. 

According to Fox, the new season 'takes its beloved themed episodes to new heights, celebrating some of the most recognizable and nostalgic moments in pop culture history.'

Among this season's group of wacky singers are the Eggplant, Pugcasso, Queen Corgi, Scarab and The Croissants.

Host Nick Cannon was back for more, alongside judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora.

Before the wacky contestants took their turn on stage, the judges got a moment in the spotlight with an opening song. 

Although the professional singers Robin and Rita were an obvious choice to lead a number, having Jenny and Ken join in was more of a head-scratching choice. 

First up on the season premiere was Galaxy Girl, who sported a ringed planet with sun-like rays emanating from her head.

She had the judges on their feet with a hard-charging cover of Chappell Roan's Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl.

Rita honed in on a Friday the 13th clue, which she thought referred to Freaky Friday, leading her to think the singer was Lindsay Lohan. She also was convinced that it was someone making a comeback.

But Jenny McCarthy thought that the clues pointed to Jennifer Love Hewitt, as she thought Friday the 13th could point toward another horror film, I Know What You Did Last Summer.

And Ken Jeong suggested that the LA clues could hint at La La Land star Emma Stone.

Next up was the Handyman, who had a notably raspy voice that the show couldn't completely obscure.

In his introduction segment, he mentioned that he used to roll with celebrities, including Robert De Niro and Courteney Cox, which seemed to be an important clue to his identity.

The Handyman was a fan of classic R&B, as he sang the Peaches & Herb classic, Shake Your Groove Thing.

Several of the judges noted his deep, raspy voice during the performance, which seemed to be the key to guessing his identity.

Ken Jeong suggested it could be Idris Elba, based on the Handyman saying his daughter wanted him to do the show, as Idris has a daughter.

One of the clues, Ace of Spades, could have been the name of a brand of champagne, and Jeong said that Idris also has his own label.

But Robin thought the voice reminded him of 'legend rappers,' and he suggested it could be Wild Thing rapper Tone Loc.

He didn't mention it, but the Ace of Spades clue could have pointed toward the Jim Carrey comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, which Tone Loc had a role in, and which also starred Courteney Cox.

But Rita Ora went in a completely different direction and guessed that the raspy voice belonged to Vin Diesel.
