Nick Ahmed Calls it a Career
Two-time Gold Glove shortstop Nick Ahmed announced his retirement from professional baseball on Sports Spectrum's "Get in the Game" podcast on Thursday. "The game has given me so much and I have so much to be thankful for from it, but now it's time to move on," Ahmed said. The 35-year-old infielder was originally a second-round pick by the Atlanta Braves in 2011 out of the University of Connecticut, but he made his big-league debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2014 and spent the first 10 years of his career in the desert. He bounced around with the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers since last year to close out his career. Ahmed finishes with a .233/.286/.370 career slash line with 72 home runs, 339 RBI and 44 steals in 964 regular-season games over 12 seasons.
