2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: After recording 54 saves between 2021 and 2022, Bard was primarily a middle reliever for the team last season, and he compiled a 4.56 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 50 appearances. His command completely escaped him last year, as he posted a 21.1 percent walk rate, and fewer swings out of the zone with fewer whiffs also resulted in a significant decrease in his strikeout rate. The veteran right-hander posted a first percentile whiff rate, fifth percentile xERA, and as you might expect, his pitch velocities and spin rates were down across the board. 

2024 Outlook: Justin Lawrence is going to be the team's closer, and unless Bard can harness the command, I'm hard-pressed to believe they turn to him to close out ball games. Leave him off your draft board.
