Twins OF Alex Kirilloff announced his retirement from baseball.

The 26-year-old announced his retirement from baseball on his Twitter account Monday morning, saying, “After nine seasons in professional baseball, I’m announcing my decision to step away from the game today...In my nine professional seasons, I’ve encountered numerous injuries, which led me to search for new ways to overcome the pain. These challenges have taken a toll on me mentally and physically; over time, I’ve realized that my passion for playing the game has shifted. Baseball demands an ‘all-in’ approach, something I’ve brought to every season. However, I can no longer give it the total commitment it requires.” A one-time top prospect, Kirilloff struggled through injuries and finished his career hitting .248 (198-for-799) with 40 doubles, five triples, 27 home runs, 116 RBI, 62 walks, two stolen bases, 92 runs scored, and a .721 OPS in 249 career games across four seasons.
