Illinois-Chicago commit. Barrera earned the Prep Baseball Wisconsin Pitcher of the Week during the middle of the regular season, and never skipped a beat after his 21-strikeout performance—leading Union Grove on a lengthy winning streak while earning a Regional Championship. The left-hander struck out an impressive 87 batters in 46 innings of work, nearly posting two strikeouts per frame during his outings. Barrera finished the season with seven wins on his resume—holding a 1.83 ERA as the ace of one of the top programs in the state. The senior concluded a successful prep career on a high note, heading south to Illinois-Chicago to throw for the Flames next season.
3/18/23

Barrera is listed at an upside 6-foot-1, 195-pounds and he got to show off the big gains he has made on the mound. During his ‘pen, Barrera worked out of the stretch only, and is clean and fluid mover while on the mound. As for his repertoire, Barrera’s fastball topped at 89.1 mph and sat in the 85-88 mph range; and one of the more eye-popping things about this pitch is that is averaged 17.4’ of induced vertical break, too. As for his offspeeds, he featured a short wrinkle slider in the mid-70s, and a changeup, with some run to the arm-side, in the mid-to-high-70s.

Body: 6-1, 195-pounds. Sturdy build with strength.
Delivery: Stretch only, medium leg lift into drop and drive delivery, long stride towards home.
Arm Action: LH. Long, loose arm, 3/4 slot.
FB: T89, 86-89 mph. Mostly straight with some life.  T2273, 2160 average rpm.
SL: 74-76 mph. Some feel with tight 11/5 action.  T1750, 1747 average rpm.
CH: 76-78 mph. Arm-side run.  T1684, 1609 average rpm.

3/21/21

Barrera emerged as an upside left-handed arm to follow in the 2024 class. Barrera – listed at 6-foot, 165 pounds – has a clean arm action that plays with some quickness from an over-the-top slot. The fastball comes out of the hand clean and played at the bottom of the zone, sitting 79-82 mph, with a max spin rate of 2,003 rpm. His 71-72 mph changeup is currently his best secondary offering; mostly straight action with above-average feel for the bottom of the zone.
