Colin Barber is a six-foot, 200 lb. outfielder from Paradise, CA. Born on December 4, 2000, the Astros took him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, with the 136th overall pick out of Pleasant Valley HS. Eighteen players have made the majors from that position in the draft, led by Ángel Pagán (1999, 18.0 WAR).
Barber played some rookie ball after the draft, then played the 2020 season with the independent Chicago Deep Dish (in the City of Champions Cup League). The 2021 campaign would see him with the High-A Asheville Tourists, where he was limited by injury to 16 games.
