Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

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.
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
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.
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.
