Kolby Allard Stats

Texas Rangers pitcher Kolby Allard threw three shutout innings of relief during the club's 5-2 loss on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. The lefty did not allow a hit or a walk and struck out five batters. He regularly found the strike zone and threw 32 of his 45 pitches for strikes (71%). With a K-BB of 9-0 this season, Allard has maintained plus control through his five innings of work and he's allowed just two hits. The club's starting pitching has been improving but if it ends up in need of assistance in that area, the 23-year-old southpaw could be the first pitcher called upon to help. Interestingly, Allard was optioned to the minors at the end of spring training before getting an early recall and becoming one of the club's most reliable relievers.

Despite optioning him off the active roster recently, the Texas Rangers added pitcher Kolby Allard to the big league roster for opening day. The lefty had a solid spring by allowing five earned runs in 11.2 innings. He also posted an impressive K-BB of 15-4. Allard wasn't as successful in 2020 at the MLB level, though. He produced an ugly 7.75 ERA and a modest 21% strikeout rate. From a roster manipulation standpoint, Allard is valuable because he can start or relieve and his minor league option allows him to be demoted and/or recalled repeatedly throughout the season. He has very limited fantasy intrigue at this point.

Texas Rangers pitchers Kolby Allard and Joe Palumbo were optioned to the alternate training site on Wednesday. Both players entered the spring with solid opportunities to win opening day roles with the club. Allard was actually leading the club in innings pitched this spring with 11.2. He had a 3.86 ERA with a K-BB of 15-4. Last season, the southpaw appeared in 11 games, including eight starts, with the Rangers but posted an ugly 7.75 ERA with a K-BB of 32-20 in 33.2 innings. Palumbo, also a southpaw, appeared in just two games this spring and allowed three runs in two innings. He made just two appearances with the Rangers in 2020 and allowed three runs in 2.1 innings.
