The 34-year-old Heaney debuted for the Miami Marlins in 2014 and went on to pitch 12 big-league seasons. Over the course of his MLB career, Heaney pitched for the Marlins, the Los Angeles Angels, the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Texas Rangers, and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Most notably, Heaney was a member of the Rangers’ World Series-winning team in 2023 (going 10-6 with a 4.15 ERA and 151 strikeouts over 28 starts that year). He split time last season between the Pirates and the Dodgers, going 5-10 with a 5.52 ERA over 23 big-league starts (also seeing some time in the minor leagues).

Heaney retires with a career MLB record of 56-72 with a 4.57 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP, and 1,156 strikeouts over 230 total appearances. Now that he is officially hanging up his cleats, Heaney may just have a future in comedy as he aalso showed off his unique way with words over the course of his career.
