2024 14U Florida All-State Games (Invite Only)
Joel Barnes is a 2027 LHP/1B/OF with a 5-5 130 lb. frame from Niceville, FL who attends Niceville. Smaller frame with a young, lean build. Ran an 8.40 second 60-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher, athletic delivery with good tempo to his process and confident in his mix. Has some arm speed through an angled release, gets some cross-fire and drops the slot sometimes. Fastball plays true, in the zone with confidence, shows good depth and shape to his breaking ball, lots of strikes throughout his outing. Plays outfield too, easy mover with methodical approach, clean footwork and accurate throws. Left-handed hitter, short swing and stays inside the baseball, not very strong yet to create strong impact out front, will improve results with better timing of foot strike and added strength.
