Reds' Tucker Barnhart: Working on pitch-framing

Barnhart is working on his pitch-framing skills this spring, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis:

Barnhart isn't necessarily a bad receiver, but he was rated by Baseball Prospectus as costing the Reds 4.4 runs last season. That puts him a little below average, but not so egregious that it will cost him much playing time.
