There were no pitchers on the 2017 Milwaukee Brewers that were more sporadic than Barnes. A stocky 225, 6’2 right hander, Barnes always had the stuff of being an extremely solid setup man. It looked that way after Feliz got released, but after a bang to the season, Barnes’s control started to become a liability.
A substandard 4.13 walks per 9 innings was the main issue certainly didn’t help. This will probably get better in the future, but the main issue was that when he was off with his command he was way off.
