He was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 26th round of the 1982 MLB draft from the University of Arizona.[2] Barrett was selected to participate in the 1984 Southern League All-Star Game while playing for the Nashville Sounds, the Double-A affiliate of the Yankees.[3] He remained in New York's farm system until being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies on December 11, 1986.[1]

After his playing career, Barrett managed two seasons in the Red Sox organization. He managed the Sarasota Red Sox in 1995 and the Michigan Battle Cats in 1996.[2]
