A week ago, David Fletcher abandoned his pursuit of a knuckleballing pitching career in order to hang up his cleats. Fletch is officially retiring after 101 innings pitched in the Atlanta Braves' minor league system over the last two seasons...and six major league seasons (2018-2023) played as an infielder for the Los Angeles Angels.
Fletcher did not rack up many lucrative awards or assist in getting Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani to the postseason, but no true Angels fan will forget him. His career will be fondly remembered as he pursues outside opportunities -- perhaps in the craft milk industry?
