Jaime Barria has been in the Angles system since 2013 when he started playing for the Halos rookie-ball team. The right-hander made great leaps and bounds through the organizational depth chart in 2017. However, he did not do enough to make the team out of spring training.
The young starter has had a wild year of transactions this season. In fact, he may have been sent up and down more than Blue Jays Buffalo shuttle member, Tim Mayza. In total, the young righty has been called-up or sent down ten times this season.
His latest call-up, on June 12, was to replace the injured Shohei Ohtani.
