Colorado Rockies pitcher Daniel Bard said anxiety is why he's beginning the season on the 15-day injury list.
Bard made his debut for the Boston Red Sox in 2009. By his second year, he was Boston's premier relief pitcher with a 1.93 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 74⅔ innings. He made 25 consecutive scoreless appearances in 2011, but then faced control issues. In his fourth season in Boston, Bard had a 6.22 ERA with 38 strikeouts, 43 walks and eight hit batters in 59⅓ innings.
Bard returned to the pros with the Rockies in 2020 and was named NL Comeback Player of the Year. Last season, he turned in a 1.79 ERA with 69 strikeouts, 25 walks and three hit batters in 60⅓ innings.During Team USA's 9-7 victory over Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, Bard suddenly lost command of his pitches. He faced four batters, gave up a hit, two walks, hit a batter, and threw two wild pitches. He threw 17 pitches, and just seven for strikes and caught Altuve with a fastball.
“I feel terrible,’’ Bard told USA TODAY Sports. “I was going sinker-in for a swing. I missed up and in. You just hate to see it."
