It isn’t often that a 24-year-old retires from baseball. It’s even less common when someone retires twice at that age. That is the case with Phillies minor-leaguer Andrew Pullin as Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia first reported the news. Matt Breen of Philly.com confirmed it soon after.
Pullin first retired just before the 2016 season started. He said that it was due to home issues, although there was thought that it was because he started the year in High-A Clearwater rather than Double-A Reading.
That retirement lasted one month as Pullin eventually joined Clearwater that May.
