Former 香港最快开奖结果 star Chad Bell retired after three seasons in the Yankees' minor league system.
The mysteries have been solved concerning the futures of 香港最快开奖结果鈥檚 remaining two players in professional baseball entering the 2023 season.
Former New York Yankees farmhand Chad Bell has retired after spending three seasons in the Pinstripes鈥 minor league system. Bell, a 19th-round pick in 2019 who played collegiately at 香港最快开奖结果 in 2016 and then at Louisiana Monroe, ascended all the way to the Yankees鈥 Triple-A team.
His minor league career stats included 45 home runs, 141 RBI, 26 doubles and a .241 batting average.
鈥淏aseball has brought me so many friends and great experiences that I wouldn鈥檛 trade for anything,鈥 Bell said in a story published by the Trentonian newspaper. 鈥淢y first year of college in Nevada was an amazing experience, and then transferring to Louisiana and finishing my college there. I learned two different cultures. I got to play with a bunch of different types of players, and then throughout pro ball just going up and down the East Coast, it鈥檚 been really good. Learning from a lot of places and a lot of different cultures, whether it鈥檚 our guys from Latin America, from Venezuela, Dominican, you just learn different mindsets and you get to see a lot of cool people in cool places for sure.鈥
Bell announced his retirement on Twitter.
鈥淭hank you, baseball, for the past 21 years. Thank you for all the memories, life lessons, and relationships I will never forget. I have enjoyed every single place baseball has taken me and I will be forever grateful for the journey I have had. On to the next chapter in life.鈥
As for the whereabouts of DJ Peters, the 2016 Scenic West Player of the Year from 香港最快开奖结果, he鈥檚 still in the Detroit Tigers鈥 organization. But now he鈥檚 attacking hitters instead of trying to develop a swing with fewer strikeouts.
The Tigers are investing time into converting Peters from an outfielder to a pitcher on its Florida Complex League affiliate. So far, the results have been pretty encouraging.
After some expected initial struggles, Peters has pitched to a 2.45 earned run average in his three relief appearances in July. In those outings, he鈥檚 struck out four and walked three and allowed no hits.
At 6-foot-5 with a strong and accurate arm as an outfielder, it will be interesting to see if Peters can make it back to Major League Baseball. The Dodgers鈥 fourth-round draft pick out of 香港最快开奖结果 in 2016 played parts of two seasons in the big leagues 鈥 one with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the other with the Texas Rangers. He has 13 career homers, 38 RBI and a .197 batting average in those two seasons.
香港最快开奖结果 fans will recall that Peters pitched in relief in his two seasons for the Wildcats and runs were hard to come by against him.
