Can we take a moment to appreciate just how spectacular Texas Rangers‘ lefty reliever Kolby Allard has been out of the bullpen this season?
Pretty good for a 26th man, we’d say.
Allard, if you recall, was the Texas Rangers’ surprise selection to be the roster’s 26th man when spring training concluded at the end of March, beating out the likes of Adolis Garcia, Hyeon-jong Yang and Hunter Wood, among other candidates.
