2016 Stohs Prospect Handbook Profile: | Injuries have certainly hurt Bard through much of his pro career, but when he is healthy, he can be a very good relief pitcher. He has a fastball that reaches into the upper-90s, with movement. He also has a very good slider. He should be able to miss some bats and get a lot of ground balls. His brother, Daniel, was a first-round pick and spent parts of five seasons with the Red Sox. His father was a catcher in the minor leagues for five years. He has the makeup to overcome the injuries he has and the work ethic to get to the big leagues. |
