Two-time Gold Glove winner Nick Ahmed announced his retirement from professional baseball on Thursday.
Ahmed, 35, spent 10 seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, then split the 2024 campaign with the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres before playing in five games this season with the Texas Rangers. He was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the second round of the 2011 MLB draft out of UConn.
"For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted to do was play baseball," Ahmed wrote on social media.
