A Los Angeles Angels pitcher announced his retirement on Thursday at the age of 24.

The 2023 draft pick has dealt with multiple injuries to his back which have impacted his mental health.

"To be completely upfront and honest to people who have supported me so much through this journey, I have decided to step away from baseball and retire," he wrote on social media.

"This doesn't mean permanently, as the option will always be open, but at the point I'm in with my health currently it was the best option we could decide on.

"I have been dealing with some back issues with bulging discs, disc degeneration, and spinal stenosis of the nerve canal. That along with other arm injuries has taken a major toll on my mental and physical health, and the desire to continue playing."

In other Angels news, the Halos were recently predicted to sign four-time All-Star slugger Pete Alonso, who is suddenly expected to not be back with the New York Mets in 2025.

He would provide a massive bat in an Angels lineup looking for another intimidator alongside Mike Trout.
