A veteran pitcher is hanging up his cleats.
World Series champion Lance Lynn, who spent 13 season in MLB, announced his retirement from the sport on his wife's podcast, Dymin in the Rough, on Tuesday.
Lynn, 37, leaves the game with a career 143-99 record and 3.74 ERA for six teams.
The Indianapolis native mostly appeared for the St. Louis Cardinals, where he appeared as a rookie in 2011 and made his first all-star team a year later.
He'd go on to spend six seasons with the Cardinals before returning to the team for the final year of his career in 2024.
Lynn also spent time with the Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees.
In the shortened 2020 campaign, he led MLB with 13 starts and 84 innings pitched for the Rangers to place sixth in Cy Young voting.
A year later, after moving to the White Sox, he reached his second all-star team and slotted third in Cy Young voting.
St. Louis selected the former Mississippi star No. 39 overall in 2008. Lynn also helped the Cardinals win the World Series as a rookie in 2011 when he was 2-0 in 10 postseason appearances.
