RHP Logan Barnett (Pontiac) catches the eye before he even steps onto the mound, standing at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, boasting a workhorse frame. The strong-bodied right-hander put together the most impressive bullpen we have seen from him. Barnett poured in a bunch of strikes with his fastball, up to 87.8 mph, creating a tough downward angle for hitters through the zone due to his over-the-top slot. His curveball plays from a true 12/6 plane at 73-74 mph, possessing above-average depth at times and much improved feel for the bottom of the zone. With a hard, diving changeup at 82-83 mph, Barnett possesses a quality three-pitch mix that should only improve with time.

One of the strongest arms of the tournament belonged to Barnett, a physical specimen listed at 6-foot-4, 210-pounds. Arm strength comes from a high ¾ slot to over-the-top slot. His fastball sat 82-84 mph for much of his outing on Friday with heavy, late boring action. The curveball varies in shape and action and sat 70-72 mph. Given his frame and arm speed, Barnett warrants a high-follow status moving forward.
