Scouting Report:
Live arm with a smooth delivery, although he needs to work on keeping
consistent a release point. His fastball looks effortless, and
consistently hits 97-98 with decent command but minimal movement.
Could probably touch 100 if he really reached back. Two-seamer shows a
bit more break and sits in the low-to-mid 90s. Secondary pitches
are good, but need a lot of refinement, including: (1) a high 80s cut
fastball; (2) a high 70s curveball and (3) a circle change with some
downward movement. Struggled through major control issues throughout the
entire 2007 season, particularly with his curveball. In the 2007-08
off-season, Bard improved his curveball significantly, although control
has still occasionally been an issue
Has
a strong frame and a mature demeanor, but has some confidence issues.
Bard took well to a bullpen role in the Hawaii League in 2007, and was
converted to a reliever in 2008. He changed his delivery by lowering his
arm slot prior to
the 2008 season, adding a little bit of life to his fastball. |
