Lance Lynn, the accomplished right-handed pitcher, officially announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Tuesday. Lynn revealed the news on his podcast, Dymin in the Rough, which he co-hosts with his wife.
“I am officially retiring from baseball right here, right now… from Major League Baseball, I am done pitching,” Lynn shared.
Lynn, 37, had a standout 13-year career in the majors, posting a 3.74 ERA with a 1.276 WHIP and 2,015 strikeouts across 364 games, including 340 starts. In 2024, he returned to the St. Louis Cardinals for a second stint but was not offered a contract extension after a season in which he posted a 3.84 ERA over 117.1 innings.
After his time with the Yankees in 2018, where he appeared in 11 games with a 4.14 ERA, Lynn signed with the Texas Rangers. He also had stints with the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023.
