Former Diamond Heel Daniel Bard having breakout year for Rockies

Posted Jul 19, 2022
In 2017 Daniel Bard retired from the mound, joining the Arizona Diamondbacks as a franchise player mentor. Five years later, the former Tar Heel finds himself having another solid season after securing his 20th save of the season for the Colorado Rockies. While Bard did not crack the NL All-Star team this year, his season is still one worth noting. (Tar Heels Wire)
