Glaesmann

Glaesmann, 23, came into the season as the Rays’ 21st-ranked prospect by Baseball America, but he went on to bat just .240/.289/.378 with 11 homers in his first taste of Double-A. He was a third-round pick in the 2009 draft.

Glaesmann was acquired by the Diamondbacks from the Rays over the offseason in the three-way deal that sent Heath Bell to Tampa, but the 23-year-old has apparently decided to hang it up. The former third-round pick batted just .240/.289/.378 with 11 homers at Double-A last season.

Glaessmann, a former third-round pick of the Rays, batted .272/.312/.462 with 13 home runs and five stolen bases in 117 games last season between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno. The 26-year-old outfielder has never appeared in a game at the major league level.

Glaesmann’s triple came after he ran through a stop sign at second base. The 24-year-old retired last February but returned to baseball only a few months later. Glaesmann isn’t close to cracking a big league roster, but he might be close to outgrowing Single-A. Through six games, he leads Visalia in both slugging percentage (.920) and OPS (1.327).
