Texas A&M standout Michael Barash joined the Wednesday, June 20 edition of Studio 12 to talk life in the minors, his recent promotion to the Los Angeles Angels' Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City, keeping up with the Aggies and more.
Barash had led the AA Mobile BayBears with 33 walks in 46 games and posted a .213 batting average with three home runs before getting the call on June 18. He had a .995 fielding percentage, with just two errors in 389 innings behind the plate. Barash was the starting catcher in a combined no-hitter on April 28 at Montgomery, and he was also named a Southern League Mid-Season All-Star.
He had a strong second half of May at the plate. Sparked by a ninth-inning home run on May 17 at Jacksonville, Barash went 13-for-31 (.419) at the plate with eight RBIs to finish the month.
A ninth-round pick of the Angels in the 2016 MLB Draft, Barash led A&M to a 99-30 in his two seasons in Aggieland (2015-16), a pair of NCAA Regional championships and the SEC Tournament crown in 2016.
