Braves' Felix Hernandez: I'll Retire If I Get to 200 Wins, 3,000 Strikeouts

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Felix Hernandez sports one of the baseball's most impressive lists of pitching accomplishments this century, but the 200-win and 3,000-strikeout milestones have eluded him thus far.

Hernandez appears to be focused on achieving those goals, saying on 710 ESPN Seattle's The Bob, Dave and Moore Show that he plans to retire if he hits those figures.

"If I can get to that goal, I'm gonna hang my spikes," he said (h/t 710 ESPN Seattle producer/host Curtis Rogers). "I'm done."

Hernandez, who played 15 years with the Seattle Mariners before joining the Braves this offseason, is 31 wins shy of 200 victories and 476 strikeouts short of 3,000 punchouts.
