​Tucker Barnhart, C, Cincinnati Reds

No one gets excited about anonymous catchers on bad offenses, but there's reason to tune in on 27-year-old Cincinnati Reds backstop Tucker Barnhart. Skills metrics show Barnhart to be in a quiet groove at the plate, mashing 49.3% hard contact and 26.9% line drives in the month of June despite only coming a .096 ISO in 95 plate appearances.

Barnhart carries the requisite sub-$3,000 FanDuel salary that normally attends to a part-time player on a bad team, but with the Reds facing some awful White Sox pitchers and the back end of the Cubs' rotation in Week 14, he could make for an interesting roster filler.
