Former Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star left-handed pitcher Alex Wood has announced his retirement from Major League Baseball.
He made the announcement Friday on his Instagram.
“Today, with immense gratitude, I am announcing my retirement from Major League Baseball,” Wood wrote.
“For over half my life, every decision I’ve made has centered around how it would impact my baseball career. I’ve given every ounce of myself in pursuit of my lifelong dream of becoming a big leaguer. Playing 12 years in the show, reaching 7 postseasons, winning a World Series, and earning an All-Star selection — I never could’ve imagined it would turn out this way.
