School: Kankakee Valley HS, Wheatfield, Ind. Drafted/Committed: Indiana
Age At Draft: 0.0
Barr is a big-bodied lefthander with a physical, 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame. There’s some effort in his delivery and depth in his arm stroke, but Barr has big pure arm speed and a fastball that sits in the low 90s and has been up to 95 mph. It’s easy to see him touching upper-90s velocity with some frequency in the next few years, but Barr’s secondaries need more refinement. He throws a below-average curveball in the mid 70s that he has used more frequently than a mid-80s slider that could become his better breaking ball in the future. Barr is a scattered strike-thrower who carries some reliever risk, but he is still interesting because of his size and heavy fastball. He’s committed to Indiana.
