Andrew Miller Announces Retirement
3 years agoLeft-handed relief pitcher Andrew Miller announced his retirement from baseball Thursday. The 36-year-old is retiring after a 16-year career. He spent the last three seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. "The list of people who took me aside, put their arm around me, made me laugh when I needed to, or taught me something is endless," Miller said. "It's safe to say I would have been faced with the next chapter much earlier on if it weren't for them. As someone who thought their career was practically over in 2010, to be able to experience everything I did along the way is incredible. You shouldn't ever hear complaints from me. It was a heck of a run." He "revolutionized" how teams now finish games, was a two-time All-Star and pitched for seven different teams. In the postseason, he was lights-out, winning the ALCS MVP in 2016, posting a 2-1 record with a 0.93 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 38 2/3 career playoff frames. Overall, Miller went 55-55 with 63 saves and a career 4.03 ERA over 829 innings.
