Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals pitcher, retires at 35 due to injury-ridden career.

Strasburg led the Nationals to their first World Series title in 2019 and earned World Series MVP honors.

After signing a $245 million deal in 2019, he pitched only 31 1/3 innings because of injuries.

He has reached a settlement regarding his contract and plans to address the public at Nationals Park later.

Strasburg is celebrated for his talent and commitment, and expressed gratitude to his team and fans upon retirement.

The Nationals owner acknowledges Strasburg's significant contributions and memorable moments with the team.
