Calls end to career May announced Monday during a stream on his personal Twitch account that he has retired from professional baseball, SNY.tv reports.
Impact May, who turned 34 years old in September, still appeared to have something left in the tank after recording 21 saves while pitching to a 3.28 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 46.2 innings with Oakland in 2023, but he'll choose to walk away from the game rather than pursuing a short-term deal with the Athletics or another club in free agency. Over parts of nine seasons in the majors with the Twins, Mets and Athletics, May notched 36 wins, 33 saves and 67 holds and accrued a 4.24 ERA across 450.1 career innings.

May now has saves in eight of his last 11 trips to the mound as well and has worked his ERA down to 3.43 with his current strong stretch of pitching, its lowest point since after his first appearance of the season back on Apr. 4.

The veteran right-hander has a win and six saves in his last seven appearances, and he's lowered his ERA from 4.78 to 3.89 since an Aug. 13 stumble against the Nationals when he allowed five runs (three earned) over just two-thirds of an inning.

Impact May has kept a scoreless outing in 12 of his last 14 appearances, including each of his last five. Tuesday's effort was a bit of a shaky one, but he was able to strike out Eugenio Suarez with runners on second and third to escape a jam. May is now 15-for-18 in save chances this season while posting a 4.14 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:26 K:BB over 37 innings.

Impact May threw 14 pitches (eight strikes) to submit his second straight clean inning against the Royals. He's pitched three of the last four days, so it's possible he may not be available to close if Wednesday's day game presents a save opportunity. May is at a 4.37 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 29:26 K:BB with 13 saves in 16 chances over 35 innings this season. Lucas Erceg would be the most likely candidate to collect a save chance if May is resting Wednesday.

Secures fourth win Monday May (4-4) got the win against the Royals on Monday, firing a perfect ninth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.
Impact May was exceedingly sharp, pounding 12 of his 14 pitches in for strikes while disposing of the trio of Salvador Perez, M.J. Melendez and Freddy Fermin. May was then rewarded for his impeccable work when Brent Rooker walked it off with a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth, which allowed the veteran right-hander to even his won-loss mark on the season. May has now posted scoreless efforts in nine of his last 10 appearances and continues to see the bulk of the ninth-inning opportunities on the team.
AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

The right-hander also now has a seven-appearance scoreless streak, a stretch that's lowered his ERA from 5.32 to 4.02. While save chances can certainly be an infrequent occurrence in Oakland, May is unquestionably the top ninth-inning option for manager Mark Kotsay at the moment.
AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact May threw 11 of 13 pitches for strikes to quickly finish off the 8-6 win. He's turned in 6.2 consecutive shutout frames, converting five of six save chances during that stretch. The 33-year-old has 11 saves with a 4.15 ERA through 30.1 innings this season.

The right-hander hit his stride in mid-June and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down -- he boasts eight saves, a hold, a 1.29 ERA and a 0.6 HR/9 across the 14 innings covering his last 14 appearances, a stretch that's lowered his ERA from 7.04 to 4.30.

This was his third consecutive scoreless outing, his most in a row since May 27-June 9 when he had six such efforts. The 33-year-old is up to nine saves with a 4.73 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 23:23 K:BB through 26.2 innings.
JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
