"Outfielder announced his retirement " on his X feed earlier this week, opting to end his playing career at age 31. As Dahl wrote in his farewell post, Baseball has been my life for as long as I can remember. From being a kid in Alabama chasing a lifelong dream to stepping foot on a big-league field...after 13 seasons and several months to reflect on it, it's officially time for the next chapter. Thank you, baseball.""
"The majority of Dahl's pro career was spent in the Rockies organization, beginning when Colorado selected the outfielder with the 10th overall pick of the 2012 draft. A regular on top-100 prospect rankings during his minor league career, Dahl's progress hit an unexpected roadblock when he suffered a lacerated spleen after colliding with a teammate during a 2015 Double-A game."
David Dahl announced his retirement at age 31 after a 13-season professional career. He appeared in parts of seven Major League seasons (2016–24), playing 350 games and hitting .268/.313/.460 with 46 home runs over 1,311 plate appearances. Colorado selected him 10th overall in the 2012 draft, and he spent the majority of his pro career in the Rockies organization. A top-100 minor-league prospect, Dahl suffered a lacerated spleen in 2015 and opted for removal to return that season. He debuted strongly in 2016, endured injuries in 2017, and produced a .291/.342/.528 line with 31 homers across 2018–19, including an All-Star nod and a postseason appearance.
