It must be said that when Harrison Bader was coming up through the minor league system, I was not a particularly big fan. Drafted in the 3rd round in the 2015 draft, he exploded onto the scene, mashing the ball in just 7 games in State College, which was enough evidence to the Cards to promote him to Peoria right away. He mashed there too, which caused the Cards to allow him to skip Palm Beach straight to Springfield to begin 2016.
Now, when I say I wasn’t a big fan of him, I don’t mean I wasn’t at this point.
