Harrison Bader is a productive member of the 2019 Cardinals. Let’s get that out of the way first. He hasn’t had consistent playing time, what with the constant surplus of outfielders on the team and the obsession with playing Yairo Munoz in the outfield, at-bats and innings have been hard to come by. Marcell Ozuna’s recent downturn provided Bader a chance to play every day, but Tyler O’Neill’s subsequent breakout has closed the door again.
That curtailed playing time hasn’t affected Bader’s defense, of course.
