Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg is reportedly planning to retire and bring an end to a 13-year career with the Washington, D.C., team.

Three people familiar with the matter told the Washington Post that Strasburg will end his baseball career this year. A news conference is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 9 at Nationals Park, just before the team plays the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Strasburg was the first overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft in 2009, eventually going on to win a World Series MVP in 2019 — the year the Washington Nationals won the World Series against the Houston Astros. He signed a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Nationals that year following the team's win. At the time, Strasburg broke the record for being the highest-earning pitcher in major league history.

Since that deal, Strasburg pitched only 31 1/3 innings. He has not pitched a game since 2022 after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome in 2021. Strasburg has not been able to make a full return from that procedure.

Over his career, Strasburg was a three-time All Star with a 113-62 record, a 3.24 ERA, and 1,723 strikeouts. When he reached 1,500 in 2019, he was the fastest pitcher by innings to reach that mark, according to MLB.com. He won the 2019 Babe Ruth Award and the 2019 All-MLB First Team, as well.

The Nationals are in New York to play the New York Yankees. They will travel to play the Miami Marlins and the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend and then return to Washington, D.C., until Sept. 10.
