}} Robert D. Whalen (born January 31, 1994) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played for the Atlanta Braves and the Seattle Mariners in Major League Baseball (MLB). Early lifeWhalen's parents are from Queens, New York City, and moved to the Pocono Mountains to raise their children. After Whalen's older sisters graduated from high school, the Whalens moved to Florida, where Whalen would have a better opportunity to pursue a career in baseball.[1] He graduated from Haines City High School in Haines City, Florida.[2] Professional careerNew York MetsThe New York Mets selected Whalen in the 12th round of the 2012 MLB Draft.[1] Whalen had committed to attend Florida Atlantic University to play college baseball for the Florida Atlantic Owls.[2] After pitching for the Savannah Sand Gnats of the Class A South Atlantic League during the 2014 season, Whalen pitched in the Arizona Fall League, where he worked on the development of his changeup. The Mets assigned him to the St. Lucie Mets of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League to begin the 2015 season.[3] Atlanta BravesOn July 24, the Mets traded Whalen and John Gant to the Atlanta Braves for Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson.[4] The Braves assigned Whalen to their A Advanced affiliate, the Carolina Mudcats of the Carolina League.[5] In 2016, Whalen began the season with the Mississippi Braves of the Class AA Southern League,[6] and was promoted to the Gwinnett Braves of the Class AAA International League in July.[7] The Braves promoted Whalen to make his major league debut on August 3, 2016. He faced the Pittsburgh Pirates, and allowed four earned runs over five innings to earn the victory.[8] Whalen was placed on the disabled list with a diagnosis of shoulder fatigue on August 25, and did not pitch for the rest of the season.[9] In September, the Mississippi Braves named Whalen Pitcher of the Year.[10] Seattle MarinersOn November 28, 2016, Whalen and Max Povse were traded to the Seattle Mariners organization in exchange for Alex Jackson and Tyler Pike.[11][12] Whalen was designated for assignment on September 1, 2018. Retirement from baseballWhalen announced his retirement from professional baseball on February 25, 2019, citing his battle with depression and anxiety as the main reason for doing so.[13][14] Pitching styleDespite being an effective ground ball pitcher, Whalen stated that he would actively seek the strikeout whenever a two-strike count arose.[15] By not focusing on the strikeout, at the suggestion of Mississippi Braves pitching coach Dennis Lewallyn, Whalen's strikeouts per nine innings actually rose throughout the 2016 season, and led to his promotion to the major leagues.[16] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://polkpreps.blogs.theledger.com/13050/haines-citys-rob-whalen-signs-with-mets/|title=Haines City's Rob Whalen Signs With Mets - Polk Preps|work=theledger.com|accessdate=July 25, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Keeley|first1=Laura|title=Region baseball roundup: Brandon's Toney turns up heat|url=http://www.tampabay.com/hometeam/blog/region-baseball-roundup-brandons-toney-turns-heat/13710/|accessdate=August 11, 2016|work=Tampa Bay Times|date=May 2, 2012}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|first1=Adam|last1=Rubin|url=http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/103730/farm-report-rob-whalen-embracing-change|title=Farm Report: Rob Whalen embracing change|work=ESPN.com|accessdate=July 25, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2015/07/24/mets-on-brink-of-acquiring-juan-uribe-kelly-johnson-from-braves/|title=Offense-needy Mets land Juan Uribe, Kelly Johnson from Braves|work=New York Post|first=Joel|last=Sherman|date=July 24, 2015 |accessdate=July 24, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Kinman promoted, Whalen and Cook added to Mudcats|url=http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20150725&content_id=138701514&fext=.jsp&vkey=pr_t249&sid=t249|accessdate=August 11, 2016|publisher=MILB.com|date=July 25, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Tait|first1=Kyle|title=Bats Explode, Whalen Cruises, M-Braves Snap Skid|url=http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160416&content_id=172685024&fext=.jsp&vkey=recap&sid=t430|accessdate=August 11, 2016|publisher=MILB.com|date=April 16, 2016}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Lezotte|first1=Dave|title=RailRiders Hang On to Sweep G-Braves|url=http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160717&content_id=190180530&fext=.jsp&vkey=recap&sid=t431|accessdate=August 11, 2016|publisher=MILB.com|date=July 17, 2016}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Bowman|first1=Mark|title=Whalen shows competitive edge in first win|url=http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/193485190/braves-rob-whalen-wins-in-major-league-debut/|accessdate=August 11, 2016|publisher=MLB.com|date=August 3, 2016}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Bowman|first1=Mark|title=Wisler promoted after stint in Minors|url=http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/197500290/braves-matt-wisler-set-to-return-to-majors/|accessdate=September 10, 2016|date=August 24, 2016}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=James|first1=Pat|title=Weigel, Peterson take home top Minors honors|url=http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/200432262/braves-announce-minor-league-awards/|accessdate=September 10, 2016|date=September 9, 2016}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://m.mariners.mlb.com/news/article/209810642/seattle-trades-for-rob-whalen-max-povse/|title=Mariners acquire righties Whalen, Povse from Braves|work=MLB.com|date=November 28, 2016|accessdate=November 28, 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://m.mariners.mlb.com/news/article/210793446/mariners-send-lefty-tyler-pike-to-braves/|title=Pike player to be named in deal with Braves|last1=Johns|first1=Greg|work=MLB.com|date=December 9, 2016|accessdate=December 9, 2016}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/RobWhalen38/status/1100190013709602816|title=THANK YOU!
