Tyson
Barker

Barker showed well in a three-inning start, striking out seven with ten swings-and-misses. An uncommitted right-hander within Indiana’s senior class, Barker stands at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, a large presence on the bump. The Harrison righty pitched at 84-87 mph while touching 88 mph in the second inning. The fastball has some life to it and Barker attacked hitters with it. He also featured a 76-79 mph breaking ball that flashed sharp action at times. Barker showed the ability to land the SL and induce swings-and-misses with it. The arm works uninterrupted to a ¾ slot, and the delivery is controlled with lower intent. Barker pitched with confidence as he threw 3 scoreless innings.
