Barr was another player on the team who’s made major strides on the mound over the past 6-8 months as the velocity has ticked into the upper-80s. Lean, wiry frame at 6-foot-3, 180-pounds with loose right-handed arm and easy, effortless delivery. After allowing the first three batters to reach base, Barr showed fortitude as he stayed the course and worked three innings. The fastball sat 84-88mph, along with a breaking ball at 69-72mph and changeup at 74-76mph. We’ve yet to see the best from Barr who continues to steadily trend upwards and it’ll be interesting to see where his game is at come spring/summer of 2026.

Barr was a standout last month at the Junior Future Games in Atlanta and his overall game is rapidly trending upwards as he continues to mature. Tons of projection in his game at 6-foot-3, 160-pounds with athletic movements throughout his game. Looks to be more upside on the mound right now, a trend in the family as both his brothers have or will take the mound for the Michigan Wolverines. The fastball sat 79-82mph from a minimal effort delivery and pairs it with a quality high-spin curveball at 62-64mph (2425rpm) with two-plane look. Also flashed a changeup at 66-68mph. Barr excels at the shortstop position and was up to 83mph across the diamond. The right-handed hitter posted a peak exit velocity of 86.7mph and peak distance of 274ft.

Uncommitted ‘26 RHP/SS Deagan Barr was one of the top underclassmen at the event. Athletic look on the field with projection in his game at 6-foot-2, 155-pounds and stood out most on the mound. Fastball sat 76-79mph and the best secondary offering was the breaking ball that had depth. Showed well on the infield, as well, with length and good movement side-to-side. Barr is still weak but there’s plenty to like in his game as he continues to develop and add strength.
