A Major League Baseball pitcher for the Colorado Rockies, Daniel Paul Bard was born in the United States on June 25, 1985. In the years 2009 through 2013, he was a member of the Boston Red Sox.
Bard made 25 consecutive scoreless outings in 2011, establishing a Red Sox franchise record. At 102 mph (164 km/h), he pitched at his maximum velocity. Bard’s playing career was derailed in the following years as he lost control of his pitches.
In 2013, he pitched in just two games for the major leagues. He then played for a number of minor league clubs until retiring in 2017 to work as a player mentor.
After recovering his composure in 2020, Bard made a comeback as a player, made it into the Rockies’ MLB team, and went on to become their closing pitcher and win the National League Comeback Player of the Year Award.
Bard stated his intention to make a comeback in February 2020 while throwing for scouts. Bard signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies on February 22, 2020, and was then given a transfer to their Albuquerque Isotopes Triple-A affiliate.
Bard avoided wage arbitration by signing a $4.4 million contract with the Rockies on March 22, 2022.
