曾經在馬林魚隊締造生涯高峰，現今僅３０歲的火車D-willis日前宣布將退休，離開大聯盟球場。

這位從２００３年開始在馬林魚開啟他的大聯盟生涯，當年以１４勝６敗防禦率３。３０的Roy，在０５年達到最強時期，當年主投２３６。１局，先發３４場投出２２勝１０敗的驚人表現，防禦率也低到２。６３的成績，單季出現５次完封讓他在球隊虎虎生風，０６和０７年也達２００局以上的表現，生涯最精華的五年都在馬林魚隊度過，可說是馬林魚的扛霸子。

可惜好景不長，０８年轉隊到底特律老虎隊後，彷彿就像是得到投球失意症一樣，主投８場２４局，雖然投出１８次三振，但卻投了３５次保送，單季失２５分可說是相當淒慘，隨即被下放調整，過著在老虎隊三年不如意的生活。這三年在老虎隊只投了１０１局，被敲出１０３支安打看似不多，投出６８次三振，更慘的是投出９２個保送，防禦率達６。８６的成績，與在馬林魚隊的任何一年比起來，都是生涯的最低點。

２０１０年轉到ＡＲＩ後，狀況仍不慎起色，去年在CIN逐漸回穩，７５。２局投出單季防禦率５的成績，但戰績是悽慘的１勝６敗，今年轉到Orioles 3A投球，４場出賽拿下０勝３敗防禦率８。５３的成績，最後宣布退休宣言。

對於他來說，實力或許不需要質疑，生涯防禦率４。１７，被上壘率１。４３，也投出７２勝６９敗的成績，是不錯的成績

而他最令人讚賞的是他的打擊實力，身為投手９年的職棒打擊生涯能夠出現３８９個打數９５支安打，包括１３支二壘打，６支三壘打和９支全壘打，打擊率還有到０。２４４的成績，上壘率０。２８７和長打率０。３７８，ＩＳＯＰ達０。１３４，這種打擊能力都能夠轉任打者了。

雖然已經宣布要退休了，但真的不考慮轉成打者，僅僅３０歲的他或許中途轉跑道，也是不錯的選擇不是嗎？

Dontrelle Willis, the 2003 National League Rookie of the Year who was pitching for Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles organization this season in an attempt to get back to the majors, has retired, the Orioles announced Monday.

The 30-year-old Willis was outstanding as a rookie in 2003 when he went 14-6 with a 3.30 ERA for the Marlins, and in 2005, when he went 22-10 with a 2.63 ERA and finished second in the National League Cy Young Award voting. But his career declined from there.

In 2011 with the Reds, Willis went 1-6 with a 5.00 earned run average. He was signed to a minor league contract by the Phillies before the season, but was released and signed to a minor-league deal by the Orioles. Willis had an 0-3 record with an 8.53 ERA for Norfolk this year.
