RP Carter Capps $.5 2020 1) twitter.com/CarterCappsHis twitter bio reads: "former MLB pitcher" and "Driveline coach" 2) blogs.fangraphs.com/carter-capps-on-his-controversial-delivery-and-triple-digit-heat/FanGraphs interview mentions he's now a coach at Driveline too, and also mentions this exchange about the end of his career: Laurila: What ended your career? Capps: “Some of it was the injury, but honestly, a lot of it was the rule change. I was a high-leverage reliever, and you can’t put me out there as a potential balk. I can’t balk in the winning run.” Not sure if these sources are sufficient but it seems clear he's moved on from playing baseball; no hard feelings if people feel differently. I tried pretty hard to search for an explicit announcement of his retirement but I couldn't find anything.

it's cool if this isn't sufficient, but if someone could confirm that would be appreciated

I’d say that the “What ended your career?” question, followed by an affirmative response is sufficient. Agreed, no hard feelings if others see it differently.

Looking through unresolved items this evening, this question still needs the perspective of at least one more TC member.

Agreed. 1st person confirmation like that should qualify.
