Barnett, a third-round pick who earned Minor League Pitcher of the Year honors in 2023, battled early struggles but turned things around by tweaking his mechanics and settling into the A’s bullpen. Now the team’s closer, he boasts a nasty sweeper-slider, high strikeout potential, and a low ERA — though recent outings show a troubling uptick in walks. Fantasy owners should target him in deeper leagues for his elite upside, while shallower rosters can monitor him as a high-upside bullpen arm with real closer potential.
