Hitting
Barcello never has been a patient hitter. Barcello always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him.
Baserunning & Defense
His arm is below average but not a major weakness. Barcello doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook
Barcello isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Jospeh to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
