Billy Barlow gives Florida a sturdy, strike-throwing righty with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2025 season, Billy Barlow emerged as a useful transfer-arm for Florida, opening with a 5 1/3-inning, zero-earned-run win over FAU and finishing with a role that included both starts and bullpen flexibility. He’s not a pure flame-thrower, but the profile is appealing: efficient enough to work deep, competitive on the mound, and backed by a track record of striking out 102 hitters in 109 1/3 innings at Clemson. The separator is his ground-ball lean and versatility, making him a fit for a staff that values reliability, midweek innings, and matchup value.
