Kyle Hendricks Hanging Up his Cleats After 12 Seasons
Right-handed pitcher Kyle Hendricks is retiring after a long and decorated career that included a World Series championship, an ERA title, and 11 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, a source told Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times. In his 12th and final season in 2025 with the Los Angeles Angels, Hendricks went 8-10 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 114 strikeouts and 43 walks in 164 2/3 innings over his 31 starts. The 35-year-old veteran was a soft-tosser in his career and never had an All-Star selection, but he will finish his career with a decent 3.79 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 1,745 regular-season innings over 307 appearances (301 starts). Hendricks' best season came in 2016 with the Cubbies, when he finished third in the National League Cy Young voting after posting a league-best 2.13 ERA with a 16-8 record and 0.98 WHIP in 190 innings pitched.
