SAN FRANCISCO — Tucker Barnhart has never caught a pitcher who prepares like Marcus Stroman and puts his fate so squarely in his catcher’s hands. And Barnhart has been in the big leagues for almost a decade.
“I put a lot of trust in my catchers,” Stroman said in a conversation with the Sun-Times. “I don’t even — I don’t game-plan. I don’t look at lineups. I know who I am as a pitcher, so I just pitch to my strengths. And the catchers essentially read swings, and then they’re doing their game plan.”
