Short, rhythmic load from the right side, where his hands work better, as he has a bit of an armbar with some stiffness in his wrists from the left side. Eyes stay level, minimal moving parts to get out of sync, and has some feel for hitting against his front leg from both sides. Logged an 84 mph exit velocity and gap power will continue to emerge as he adds strength to his frame.

The switch-hitter displayed above average abilities from both sides of the plate with a top bat exit velocity of 83 mph from the right side. He flashed a shorter, more compact stroke from the right side but in spite of some length to his left hand swing Barto does show some gap-power potential.

The 7.08 runner flashed a soft glove hand and solid feet while making throws from multiple arm angles.
