Uncommitted Spotlight: Sean Barnett
December 11, 2020
This week’s final uncommitted senior spotlight is Rockwood OF Sean Barnett, an athletic and projectable 6-foot-1, 185-pound outfielder ranked No. 77 overall in Missouri’s 2021 class.
Barnett recently attended our GBA Scout Day in May, where he had an all-around impressive day. It’s a smooth and simple operation at the plate, staying controlled throughout while consistently finding the barrel. Defensively, Barnett showed off an above-average arm in his workout that plays best in a corner outfield role and topped 87 mph on his best throw to home.
