Harrison Bader

Harrison Bader is one of those guys who quietly earns your respect the more you pay attention. Nicknamed "Tots" — which honestly makes him even more likeable — he's a center fielder who built his reputation on elite defense and a hustle-every-play mentality rather than gaudy offensive numbers. Growing up in Bronxville, New York and playing college ball at Florida before breaking into the Cardinals system, he's had a genuinely nomadic MLB career — Cardinals, Yankees, Reds, Mets, Twins, Phillies, and now the Giants — which tells you teams keep wanting him for a reason even if he hasn't locked down a permanent home. I've always had a soft spot for the glove-first outfielder who dives for balls other guys wave at, and Bader fits that bill perfectly. Still in his late 20s as of 2024, the guy's prime defensive years might still be ahead of him.
