Barrett was recently designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He had been a 3rd round pick out of Arizona State University by the Diamondbacks in 2012.
Barrett is a hard-throwing, right-handed pitcher with control problems. Similar to Derek Law, Barrett had a promising season in 2016.
However, that promise faded quickly. Barrett has struggled at the major league level over the past 2 seasons. However, the past 2 seasons only include 34 major league innings, so that is still in small sample territory.
Compared to Law, Barrett could be seen as incrementally better.
