Kolby Allard entered the 2017 season ranked as the 37th best prospect in all of baseball, and was a top prospect for the Atlanta Braves.
That was after the former first-round draft pick posted a 3.18 ERA in 87.2 innings between Rookie ball and Single-A.
He went on to put up good numbers at Double-A in 2017, and then he dominated Triple-A competition in 2018 before getting promoted to the Atlanta Braves.
And that’s where Kobly Allard got exposed a little bit.
He’s never been an overpowering pitcher, but instead has relied on his elite command to generate weak contact.
