Barker brought an imposing frame for his age at 6’2” 179 lbs, with broad shoulders and the kind of build that suggests significant physical upside still to come. He moved well for his size, posting a 8.01 60-yard dash and reaching a top run speed of 16.9 mph. His vertical jump measured at 18.7 inches, showing moderate lower-half explosiveness that should improve as he continues to strengthen his base. Defensively, Barker worked out at first base and showed a 69 mph infield velocity. The arm strength and field actions are still developing, but the foundation is there. Improving his footwork around the bag and his glove presentation will help him gain consistency and confidence on picks and throws. With continued reps and maturity, he has a chance to become a reliable defender at the corner. At the plate, Barker’s offensive profile carries the most intriguing. He took a strong round of batting practice, generating loud contact to the pull side and middle of the field. His max exit velocity reached 95.8 mph, with an 81.2 mph average EV and a 353-foot max distance, he showed the ability to drive the baseball with authority. Barker’s max hand speed (18.8 mph) and bat speed (68.5 mph) point to solid swing mechanics that produce good torque and barrel whip. There’s a lot of strength in the hands, and as he continues to refine his timing, the raw power will become a true weapon. Barker is projected as a physical right-handed bat in the 2028 class with developing defensive ability and significant offensive ceiling. With added physicality and continued attention to the details of his footwork and glove work, he could evolve into a dangerous middle-of-the-order type presence at the next level
