Cincinnati Reds pitcher Amir Garrett returned to Twitter on Wednesday with a message explaining why he deactivated his account in the first place.
He said he didn't deactivate it because he couldn't handle criticism for his performance on the field but rather because he "would read awful things" such as "people wishing death upon my unborn child along with my pregnant wife. Unimaginable dm's spewing hate and stomach wrenching messages."
Garrett announced the birth of his daughter, Koa Mae Garrett, in July.
On the field, the southpaw had the worst statistical year of his career since he was a rookie in 2017.
