Biographical Information

Luis Barrios pitched in the minors and for the Colombian national team.

He was 2-6 with a 6.53 ERA for the 2014 DSL Braves, striking out 52 in 41 1/3 IP but walking 33 and throwing 20 wild pitches. He tied for 9th in the Dominican Summer League in losses and was 3rd in wild pitches. Despite that rough campaign, he was brought stateside in 2015, going 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in 14 games for the GCL Braves, cutting his walks (13 in 25 1/3 IP) but also striking out fewer (16). He was lit up for the '16 GCL Braves (8 H, 8 R in 3 1/3 IP, 0-1) to end his US career at 3-8, 6.43, though he was still not even 20 years old.

Barrios made Colombia's squad for the 2019 Pan American Games Qualifier. He pitched twice, while Colombia got a spot in the 2019 Pan American Games. Against defending Pan American Gold Medal winner Canada, he got the start and went two innings (2 H, 2 BB, 1 R) before Hernán Guzmán relieved. In the tournament finale, he was one of 8 Colombians hurlers in a 17-4 loss to the Dominican Republic. He replaced Ángel Vílchez and gave up 4 hits and 4 runs in 1 1/3 IP; Carlos Diaz took over then.
