Reds' 14-game winner retires after 8-year MLB career with 6 different teams

One of the most-traveled baseball careers in recent memory is officially over.

Dan Straily, who pitched eight MLB seasons for six different teams, has retired.

Straily was a high school pitcher in Oregon who began his college career at Western Oregon University.

From there, he traveled cross country to play for the Thundering Herd at Marshall University.

The Oakland Athletics picked Straily in the 24th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.

It took him about three years to reach his MLB debut with Oakland.

Straily spent three seasons with the A’s before being traded to the Cubs.

He would then play for the Astros, Reds, Marlins and Orioles.

In 2016 for Cincinnati, Straily had his best season, a 14-8 record with a 3.71 ERA and 162 strikeouts in 191.1 innings.

He threw his last MLB pitches in 2019, but that didn’t stop his baseball career.

He played in Korea for Lotte in 2020 and 2021. He returned to Triple-A Reno in 2022, then went back to the KBO for 2023.

In 2024, Straily pitched for Triple-A Iowa.

And finally, Straily spent this season in the Mexican League before getting injured and deciding to hang up his spikes.

That’s quite the baseball journey.
