Jennie has accomplished everything you can in softball. She has a four-year-old son, Ace, and her husband, Casey Daigle, is a pitcher with the Houston Astros. She's retiring from playing to have more time with her son and husband. With her playing and personal appearance requirements, it has made family-time difficult... which is important to her.
Another factor that probably played into it is that softball is no longer an Olympic sport, so the motivation of playing another couple of years so that she could play in another Olympics was not there. I'm sure she will continue to be an ambassador for the sport and she probably has sponsorship deals that will continue as well.
