Maybin, 34, made his big league debut with the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 17, 2007. He went on to play for 10 teams over a 15-year career.
He most recently spent time with the Mew York Mets – where he played in just nine games in to finish his career with a .254/.323/.374 slash line and 187 stolen bases.
In a statement posted to Twitter, Maybin thanked those that helped him reach the majors.
“I’ve played this game since I was four years old. Three decades later, my love for baseball is only matched by the love I have for the family that’s supported my every step of the way,” the statement read.
“I am the man I am today because of this game and the teams that gave a young kid from Asheville, North Carolina a chance to be great: the Tigers, Marlins, Padres, Braves, Angels, Astros, Mariners, Yankees, Cubs, and Mets. To the coaches, agents, mentors and most importantly, the fans, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support,” the statement continued.
Congratulations to Maybin on great career.
