7 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart is behind the plate and batting second against righty Jameson Taillon and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Barnhart is hitting .227/.302/.332 off right-handed pitching this season, which doesn't scream two-hole hitter. Barnhart is normally in the sixth or seventh spot in the batting order, but gets a rare chance to bat higher on Friday. He's a sleeper option in DFS, but his struggles against right-handed pitching should make him fairly unowned in most DFS contests.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

12 months agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks selected veteran catcher Tucker Barnhart's contract Monday and designated pitcher Peter Strzelecki for assignment in a corresponding move. This means that Barnhart will serve as backup to Gabriel Moreno to start the season. The 33-year-old is a two-time Gold Glove winner and can provide experience and leadership off the bench. However, he has hit just .217 this spring and has never been much of an offensive fantasy option.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks catcher Tucker Barnhart, who was signed to a minor-league deal this offseason, will compete with Jose Herrera to be the backup to everyday catcher Gabriel Moreno. Barnhart, 33, is a two-time Gold Glove-winning backstop and can provide experience and leadership off the bench, but he hit just .202/.285/.257 with the Chicago Cubs in 2023, and his offensive production has dipped over the last two seasons. If he makes the team out of spring training, the D-backs would only have to pay him the league minimum. The Cubs are paying Barnhart $3.25 million as part of a deal he signed prior to the 2023 season. His agreement with Arizona includes an opt-out clause at the end of spring training if he doesn't make the Opening Day roster.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

1 year agoNewly-signed catcher Tucker Barnhart will reportedly compete with 26-year-old Jose Herrera to serve as the backup catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, per MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. While Gabriel Moreno has the starting spot, it is not yet determined who will serve as the backup, and the team could even bring in another backstop to add into the mix. Neither player offers much offensive upside, but the 32-year-old Barnhart is known for his defensive prowess. Regardless, it sounds as though both players will have the opportunity to win the role.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

1 year agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks and free-agent catcher Tucker Barnhart agreed to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invite to spring training, per FanSided's Robert Murray. The 32-year-old veteran slashed just .202/.285/.257 with one home run and nine RBI in 123 plate appearances last season with the Cubs. However, Barnhart brings defensive prowess with him, having earned a pair of Gold Glove awards throughout his career. As such, he may be in the mix for the backup catcher role with the Diamondbacks. While his defensive skills may help the team out this season, his recent lack of offensive production makes him an afterthought in fantasy leagues.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
