Andre Ethier is scheduled to have his high school number retired Wednesday in a ceremony at his Phoenix high school, St. Mary’s.

Ethier wore No.14 at St. Mary’s, before continuing to star locally at Gilbert-Chandler Community College and then Arizona State. He wears No.16 for the Dodgers.

Tommy Lasorda will speak at the St. Mary’s event, which will be hosted in the school gym by Dodgers announcer Rick Monday.

Ethier is coming off a career year for the Dodgers, establishing personal bests in home runs (31), RBI (106), doubles (42), hits (162) and runs (92). He also led the majors with six walk-off hits.
