Fast Facts
Tucker Barnhart was born on January 7, 1991, in Brownsburg, Indiana. He played baseball at Brownsburg High School, beginning his career the year after current major leaguers Drew Storen and Lance Lynn graduated. Mark Titus and Gordon Hayward also graduated from Brownsburg, so it seems like a pretty neat sports place.
Barnhart stands at 5'11", and clocks in at 190lbs. He's a switch-hitter and but not a switch-thrower. He's still on a pre-arb deal, so let's just say he makes "Not Joey Votto money" dollars.
Barnhart began the season as the third catcher in rotation behind Devin Mesoraco and Brayan Pena, but a hip injury to Mesoraco and a case of the "being 33 years old"'s for Pena resulted in Tucker making 81 appearances behind the dish and 279 appearances at the plate.
