Veteran C Andrew Knapp announces retirement

Veteran catcher Andrew Knapp announced his retirement from baseball on Monday.

Knapp, 33, appeared in just three games with the San Francisco Giants in 2024.

He finishes with a .209 batting average and 13 home runs in 328 career games with four teams, most notably the Philadelphia Phillies (2017-21). The Phillies selected the switch-hitter in the second round of the 2013 draft.

“I completely dedicated my life to the game, and the game blessed me with so much,” he said, in part, in a post to Instagram. “Baseball has given me relationships that I will have for the rest of my life. It has taught be how to fail and how to persevere. It has taught me how to be confident but humble.”
