Barrett is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound lefthander who threw the first and second no-hitters in school history at Bakersfield, Calif.’s Frontier High. He broke onto the scene as a freshman with UC Santa Barbara in 2023 when he led all Division I freshmen with 82 strikeouts and posted a 1.92 ERA over 61 innings. He threw just 2.1 innings in 2024 before an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery sidelined him until late April 2025, and he made just three appearances for 4.2 innings before UC Santa Barbara’s season ended. He did also throw at the MLB draft combine. His stuff has come back post-injury. Barrett throws a three-pitch mix that includes a 90-93 mph fastball that will touch 95 and has generated most of his whiffs with an 82-85 mph changeup. The change is Barrett’s go-to secondary but he will also throw a sweepy slider around 80 mph. He’s historically been a below-average strike-thrower who might profile best in the pen. His lack of mound time the last two years adds to his uncertainty.
