2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bard was set to open 2023 as the Rockies' closer after racking up 54 saves between 2021-2022 and signing a two-year extension with the club. Unfortunately, the veteran struggled with anxiety last spring, which led to poor command during Cactus League play and the World Baseball Classic. The 37-year-old, who notably battled the "yips" in his late-20's and early-30's that kept him out of the majors for six seasons, opened the campaign on the injured list. Upon his return in late-April, Bard's command was still spotty, but he permitted just one earned run over his first 16.1 innings despite walking 13 during that span. The right-hander's control issues eventually caught up with him, finishing the year with a 47:49 K:BB ratio over 49.1 innings for a negative 0.9 K-BB percentage. Bard's 1.70 WHIP was 2nd-worst among qualified relievers, so he'll have an uphill battle to climb to be trusted in high-leverage again. Read Past Outlooks
