Illinois College commit. Athletic 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame with room to add strength. Started at second and hit out of the four-hole. Barnes had quite the day at the plate on Friday as he finished the game going 3-for-3. The switch-hitter operates from an open stance with a small leg lift. Strong hands with a compact swing that has a whole field approach. Connected on a line drive to right field for a single in the first. In his second plate appearance, Barnes went down 0-2 and came back to earn a walk. In his third, he connected on a double to left. In his final appearance, Barnes would drive in the tying run on a line drive to left field for a single.
