This study explores the brief careers of professional baseball players and their retirement career development. Using in-depth interviews, we collected data from former professional players (referred to anonymously as Player A, B, and C) to examine challenges and experiences during and after their athletic careers. To enhance validity and reliability, triangulation analysis was applied by incorporating literature and works by renowned figures in professional baseball. Key findings include:Most retirement players often transition into roles such as coaches, public representatives (in sports-related fields), or entrepreneurs (in sports ventures); Across the life cycle, balancing athletic and academic training during student years is critical, while pursuing a second skill or extending professional expertise (e.g., team management, sports administration) is advised during their professional phase; Players should acquire financial management knowledge and cultivate restrained spending habits during their careers.The study recommends that career planning for professional baseball players emphasize dual-track development (education and technical skills), financial literacy, extended skill cultivation, and personal spending discipline to ensure a smooth transition into post-athletic life. These findings aim to provide insights for players, parents, coaches, professional leagues, and government agencies involved in baseball.
