Big-bodied righty with promise, polish, and a winning moment already on the board
In the 2026 season, Ryan Barks appeared in seven games out of George Washington’s bullpen, went 1-0, and logged 6.1 innings with five strikeouts and a win at Georgetown on April 22, 2026. At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, he brings a power pitcher frame, and his prep résumé hints at upside: a Top 200 prospect in his state, a #57 pitcher in Virginia by PBR, plus academic discipline and a reputation for work ethic. He looks like the kind of arm a staff likes to develop, not just use.
