Phillies’ Alumni: Former Relief Pitcher Jared Hughes retires

Jared Hughes, the 35-year old reliever has announced that he is retiring from baseball. Hughes appeared in 25 games for the Phillies in 2019. After a long ten year career in the big leagues, Hughes will finish his lengthy time in the MLB with a 2.96 career earned run average.

Hughes took to Instagram on Sunday afternoon to announce his retirement after his one-year deal with the New York Mets expired this offseason.

In his extremely short retirement statement, if we even want to call it that, he did poke fun at his sprints to the mound.
