Isaiah Barkett

Barkett is a contact-oriented profile who stands out for his bat-to-ball skills. He’s fresh off a career year in which he hit .389/.461/.498 with 19 extra-base hits, 32 stolen bases and an eye-popping walk-to-strikeout ratio of 25-to-9. Barkett has a simple setup with a direct swing and quickness in his hands. He posted a 94% overall contact rate, including 96% against fastballs, and a 95% overall in-zone contact rate. Barkett has a sound approach and consistently works up the middle and to the opposite field. He has experience at all four infield positions, but it’s rather easy to envision him at second base professionally. Barkett is a plus runner and an effective base stealer who’s a nuisance for opposing pitchers to deal with.
