Biography
Barrett went to Crowley High School in Crowley, Texas.[3] He attended the Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring immediately after high school.[1][4] He entered the minor leagues in 2003 and made his MLB debut on October 1, 2010.[5] Barrett's first career ejection came on April 16, 2012, when he threw out Chicago White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper.[6]
On March 29 and 30, 2013, he umpired two Spring Training games featuring the Texas Rangers and the San Diego Padres. Those were the first baseball games played at the Alamodome.[7]
He worked all 4 games on June 13–16, 2019, between the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies in which both teams set a Major League Record for combined runs in a four-game series (92). The previous record was 88, set in 1929. [8]
