For someone who was once a 10th round draft pick — as a high school catcher, no less — Tucker Barnhart has earned himself a pretty decent job over the years. Last season was already the sixth-straight season in which he caught at least half of the Cincinnati Reds’ games, and he’s third among active Reds in games played with the team. In that time, he’s won two Gold Glove awards behind the plate, establishing himself as one of the game’s hardest-working defensive catchers while hitting just enough to keep his lineup spot from becoming a black hole.
Could this season be Tucker Barnhart’s last in Cincinnati?
