Meet The New Guy: Kyle Barraclough

Related Topics: Kyle Barraclough

He’s Kyle Barraclough. I know there’s a lot of low-hanging jokes made about Chaim Bloom signing guys off of indie ball diamonds, but this time, Barraclough, who was drafted by the Cardinals 240th overall in 2012, was literally out of the MLB and pitching for the High Point Rockers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, a partnered independent league. He does have almost 300 innings of relief experience in the Majors since his call-up by the Marlins in 2015.

What position does he play?

He’s a right-handed pitcher, and, though the Rockers have used him twice as a starter this season, he is overwhelmingly a relief pitcher.
