Barraclough struck out three in a perfect inning during Wednesday's loss to the Mets.
Analysis:
Pitching the eighth inning with the Marlins trailing by two on the road, Barraclough disposed of Yoenis Cespedes, Neil Walker and Wilmer Flores with just 10 pitches. He's walked just one batter in his last five innings while continuing to pile up the strikeouts. Owner of a solid 3.38 ERA and 15.3 K/9 rate, the hard-throwing right-hander has also posted an ugly 6.5 BB/9 over 34.2 innings pitched this season. If Barraclough can continue to improve his control he has the chance to develop into a dominant late-inning force.
