2023 Fantasy Outlook
Barrero has had a reputation throughout his ascencion of the minor leagues as a strong defender with the raw tools to be something special at the big league level. He has amassed nearly 300 plate appearances over the past three seasons in the majors and owns a career 14 wRC+ in that time. Remember, 100 is average, so that is how far away Barrero is in moving expectations to reality. He has speed, but a career .215 OBP severely limits his chances to use that speed. He has also struck out in 40% of his plate appearances and has not accepted walks because pitchers have simply overmatched him at the plate as he continues to flail away at major league pitching. He still has one more year of options and Cincinnati would be wise to allow him more development time in Louisville before what is left of his confidence at the major league level evaporates. You can keep him on a watch list in your respective research tools, but he is undraftable outside of 50-round draft and hold formats. Read Past Outlooks
Out of lineup again Sunday
Barrero is not in the starting lineup versus the Brewers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Barrero is opening the game on the bench for the third straight game. The25-year-old will take a seat again with Will Benson getting the start in center and hitting eighth against Adrian Houser and the Reds.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Garcia made waves early in spring training with a two-homer game against the Angels and followed that up with a few more loud hits, exciting a fanbase eager to have some hope at shortstop. Alas, when he got the call with the Reds in August, essentially skipping two levels, he hit a paltry .194/.206/.194 in 68 plate appearances, striking out 26 times against just one walk. He'll probably begin 2021 in the minors, as he clearly needs more time to develop. Reds GM Nick Krall has suggested that they are looking to bring in a shorstop from outside the organization this offseason, as they currently only have Garcia and Kyle Farmer following the departure of Freddy Galvis.
