Outfielder David Peralta, who played 961 of his 1,231 career games with the Arizona Diamondbacks, announced his retirement from professional baseball on Wednesday. 

The 38-year-old last played in the Major Leagues in 2024 with the San Diego Padres, and appeared in 12 contests this offseason in the Venezuelan Winter League with the Bravos de Margarita. 

Peralta earned a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger during his nine-year tenure in Arizona from 2014-22, hitting 110 of his 125 career home runs with the NL West club. 

Peralta says goodbye to baseball 

“Thank you to the Arizona Diamondbacks organization for making my dreams come true, believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play the best baseball in the world — MLB,” Peralta said in a statement provided to MLB Trade Rumors. “I also want to thank all of the other organizations that were a part of my career; Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.

Peralta began his professional career as a left-handed pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. A two-year stint as an outfielder in the American Association of Professional helped him land a gig with the D-Backs. 

Only Luis Gonzalez, Paul Goldschmidt, and Ketel Marte have played more games in a Diamondbacks uniform than Peralta.
