Cody Allen Hangs Up His Cleats
4 years agoFree-agent relief pitcher Cody Allen drew some interest on the open market but has decided to retire from Major League Baseball. The 32-year-old compiled 153 career saves, with all but four of them coming for the Cleveland Indians. The right-hander was the ninth-inning man for Cleveland's 2016 World Series team, pitching in four World Series games while allowing no runs and striking out 12 in six innings. Allen pitched with the Tribe for seven seasons before joining the Los Angeles Angels for one season in 2019. He did not pitch in 2020. Allen will finish his eight-year career with a 3.14 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 593 strikeouts, 193 walks and 153 saves in 463 2/3 innings over 481 appearances, all in relief.
