left handed Kolby Allard According to the MLB.com transaction tracker, the guardian is elected as a free agent after being abandoned. Cleveland designated a former Atlanta first-round draft pick for missions last week.
Allard spent several months on the major league roster in Cleveland. He signed a offseason minor league contract and was selected as an MLB club in late April. The 27-year-old Southpaw scored an impressive 2.55 runs in 35 1/3 innings, a low-leverage reliefist. But Allard’s average fastball speed of 90.5 mph makes him one of the softest throwers in the league. His 10.5% strikeout rate continues among pitchers with at least 30 frames logged in and ranks sixth in a swing strike.
In recent weeks, the lack of fame seems to have begun to catch up with Allard. He won at least one run in four of his last five games, when his opponent hit the ball.395. Neither the Guardian nor any other club believed in the average of Allard’s sustainability for the season. He has no minor league choice, so any claimed team needs to keep him in the major league roster.
Allard appeared in part of eight Major League Baseball seasons, releasing a 5.59 ERA in more than 300 innings. He has been a starter for most of his minor league career, but it’s hard to stick with the major league rotation and work more often from the bullpen.
