‘The Dark Knight’ Matt Harvey announces retirement

‘The Dark Knight’ Matt Harvey (34) announced his retirement from active duty.

Harvey took to his Instagram on the 5th of his day and wrote, “Goodbye baseball. And thank you,” he announced his retirement.

메이저놀이터 He pitched in 10 games in the minor leagues of the Baltimore Orioles last year and represented Italy in the World Baseball Classic last year, but this season he did not play without his team. And this time officially announcing his retirement.

Nominated by the New York Mets with the 7th overall pick in the 1st round of the 2010 draft, he debuted in the big leagues in 2012 and went 50-66 with an ERA of 4.42 in 180 games over 9 seasons.

He was selected as an All-Star in 2013 and pitched as a National League starter in the All-Star Game at Citi Field.

After missing the entire 2014 season due to Tommy John surgery, he recorded 13-8 with a 2.71 ERA in 29 games and 189 1/3 innings in 2015, contributing to the team’s advancement to the postseason.

He recalled his days with the Mets, saying he would forever remember the time he heard the fans chant, “Harvey’s Better,” after he went down from Citi Field, the home stadium of the Mets.

He continued, “I threw to win. I played to spark a spark in the hearts of my team and the fans of the city I’ve always loved. This is a feeling that will never be forgotten and will last forever. And I will continue to be there to give everyone a lot of excitement.”
