View Draft Report
School: Mountain Brook (Ala.) HS Drafted/Committed: Alabama
Age At Draft: 18.8
Barnett is a massive-framed righthanded hitter listed at 6-foot-6, 220 pounds who still has plenty of room to layer on more strength and mass. Unsurprisingly given his size, Barnett boasts huge raw power and will put on a show in batting practice, though his long levers and below-average pure hitting ability lead to lots of swing-and-miss tendencies in game. His swing is steep and uphill with plenty of length, which will lead to eye-opening home runs to the pull side, but should also make him a power-over-hit offensive profile. He’s a definite corner profile of some capacity, with a chance to play third base but is perhaps a more likely fit in an outfield corner or first. He has above-average arm strength but is a below-average runner. Barnett could fit in the first 10 rounds for a team who wants to bet on his power. If not, he’s committed to Alabama.
