    The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Barden has been a steady college player, making him the state's top prospect. He's not physically imposing or athletic, making comparisons to big league third basemen David Bell and Ron Cey appropriate. His style of hitting should transfer well to wood bats. He has good bat speed, a good eye and a knack for hitting in the clutch. He's an adequate defender.
