Experienced right-hander with a pro-tested track record and bullpen upside
Barger brings a durable, game-tested arm to St. Bonaventure after compiling a 2025 pro season with 29 appearances, 33.1 innings, and 32 strikeouts, plus a career minor-league line of 192 games and 332 strikeouts. His calling card is relief experience, strike-throwing ability, and the kind of competitive polish that comes from handling high-volume work across multiple pro seasons. The main question is consistency—his 2025 ERA was 5.40—so he looks best as a fit for teams that value experienced bullpen depth and believe in unlocking sharper late-inning command.
