Nick Punto Retires: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Veteran utility infielder Nick Punto has decided to call it a career after playing 14 Major League Baseball seasons with six teams.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports confirmed Punto's decision to walk away after he sat out the 2015 season.

Punto last played for the Oakland Athletics in 2014, appearing in 73 games and hitting .207/.296/.293. He did play average defense at multiple positions, with FanGraphs crediting him with one defensive run saved.

The 38-year-old was not a prodigious hitter throughout his career, but he provided a glorious moment with a 444-foot blast against Toronto in June 2012, via MLB.
