Signed after the draft, the Mets assigned Westmont’s Will Barring to
the GCL Mets this past week, where his pro career is off and running.
Just
as nearly unreported as the
signing of Alejandro Castro was that of William Barring, an outfielder who
went 0-5 in 3 games this week during his pro debut with the GCL Mets. Barring is a 22-year old
from Irvine, California who used to also play
football. Barring spent 4 years playing center field at Westmont college,
batting .335, with 12 homeruns and 113 RBI’s, and he was a two-time All-Golden
State Athletic Conference selection.
