2015 All-Eastern Kansas League - 2nd Team

6/5/14 - Three class of 2015 outfielders also eclipsed the 6.70 60-yard dash mark in Michael Valdivia (’15 Bishop Miege), Luke Wilmes (’15 Blue Valley Southwest) and Tyler Barnes (’15 Blue Valley West).

2/17/14 - Barnes is a thin, athletic framed 5-foot-10, 153-pound right-hand hitting outfielder.  During the defensive evaluations he showed fluid footwork and clean exchanges while making accurate throws with a quick, slinging type motion and high ¾ arm slot – his top throwing velocity was 79 mph.  During batting practice he demonstrated a very simple line drive approach.  He starts with a balanced, inline stance, uses a minimal hand load and strides inline.  His swing is upper half dominant but he has some strength and an efficient swing path short to the baseball.  His exit velocity high was 85 mph and he ran a 4.35 home to 1B from the right side.
