Former MLB Star Ryan Pressly Announces Shocking Retirement After 13-Year Career.
Ryan Pressly, a two-time All-Star reliever who played for the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs, has announced his retirement from professional baseball after a remarkable 13-year career. The 37-year-old pitcher had collected an impressive 117 saves during his time in the league, helping the Astros win the 2022 World Series.
"It's bittersweet, but what a ride it's been," Pressly said in a statement announcing his retirement. The veteran pitcher expressed gratitude to fans and teammates for their support throughout his career.
Pressly's impressive resume includes two saves and just one unearned run over 5 2/3 innings in the Astros' World Series victory against the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022. He also recorded six saves and allowed only one unearned run over 11 innings during Houston's 2022 postseason run.
During his 13-year career, Pressly was 37-39 with a 3.33 ERA and struck out 721 batters in 691 1/3 innings. The pitcher made All-Star teams with the Astros in both 2019 and 2021.
Pressly's decision to retire marks the end of an era for the Astros, who will miss his experienced presence on the mound. However, he leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered by fans and fellow players alike.
As Pressly embarks on the next chapter of his life, fans can look back on his impressive career and celebrate the memories made on the field.

he's leavin behind a legacy that'll be remembered by Astros fans and his teammates for years to come 
just when i thought the baseball season was gonna be epic, ryan pressly is calling it quits 
13 years is a long time, he's gotta be exhausted but what an incredible career tho! 117 saves and a world series win under his belt? no wonder they're gonna miss him so much 
hope he enjoys that next chapter of life tho, all the fans are cheering you on ryan 
. i'm gonna miss watching him pitch, he was always so calm and collected on the mound 
. what's next for this guy? is he gonna be a sports analyst or something? lol, wouldn't that be wild 
. anyway, props to ryan for an amazing career, you're definitely going to be missed 
.

. gonna miss seeing him out there giving it his all 
. hope he enjoys whatever's next for him 
. gotta say, what a journey he's been on!

what about the team he's leaving now? they're gonna miss him alot

. Pressly's numbers are insane, i mean 3.33 ERA and 721 Ks is something to be proud of. I remember when he first came up with the Astros in 2012, hes been a key guy for them ever since. He may not have had the biggest arm or the most velocity, but he always made up for it with his cleverness on the mound. 
. I hope he enjoys whatever comes next, maybe theres a chance for him to stay involved in baseball somehow? 
117 saves in 13 years is insane, the guy was a master of closing games out 
his presence on that mound will be missed by fans and teammates alike 
he had an amazing career, 117 saves ain't no joke
