He has struck out at least once in every single game. 30 total out of 58 ABs with zero walks.
He almost broke his streak last night as it was his night off.
But, luckily, he was brought in as a defensive replacement in the 7th inning and nabbed that strikeout in his single plate appearance for the night an inning later (on 3 pitches).
We'll see if he can keep up this torrid pace to end the season. The current record is 37 straight games, set by Aaron Judge in 2017.
The Reds have 43 more games to play, so it's well within the realm of possibility that Barrero sets this MLB record, even if he sneaks an 0-fer by in one of the next 6 games, he can still recover to claim the title assuming he plays every game from here on out.
It will be exciting to see what he can do next year when he is healthy again.
Last year he tore up AA/AAA hitting .303 with a .380 OB% and .539 SLG%
This year before he was called up he was hitting just .209/.262/.377.
