If you put Tucker Barnhart and Eric Haase side-by-side, they look pretty similar. Both a bit under six feet tall and near 200 pounds. Strong beard game. Bona fide Midwesterners. The main way to tell them apart is their eye color: Barnhart’s are a steely light bluish-grey, while Haase’s are dark brown. Of course Barnhart mainly bats left-handed, and Haase is a righty who loves to mash left-handed pitching. So there are some obvious distinguishing features.
Finally, Tucker Barnhart was signed very, very soon after the World Series to be the Tigers’ primary catcher, in the first major signing of the off-season for Al Avila.
