Career
Barría signed with the Los Angeles Angels for $60,000 as an international free agent in 2013. He made his debut that same year with the Dominican Summer Angels of the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League, pitching in five innings and giving up six earned runs. He returned there in 2014 where he improved, going 4-4 with a 3.03 earned run average (ERA) in 16 games (eight starts). In 2015 he played for both the Arizona Angels of the Rookie-level Arizona League and the Orem Owlz of the Advanced Rookie-level Pioneer League, pitching to a combined 5-4 record and 4.02 ERA in 15 games (14 starts). He pitched in 2016 for the Burlington Bees of the Class A Midwest League and was named the Angels' Pitching Prospect of the Year by MLBPipeline.com after he compiled an 8-6 record and 3.85 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP in 25 starts.

Barría began the 2017 season with the Inland Empire 66ers of the Class A-Advanced California League.[2] The Angels promoted him to the Mobile BayBears of the Class AA Southern League on June 4,[3] and to the Salt Lake Bees of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League for his final three starts of the year.[4] In 26 starts between the three clubs, he went 7-9 with a 2.80 ERA.[5] He was selected to appear in the All-Star Futures Game.[6] The Angels added Barría to their 40-man roster after the season.[7]
Barría began the 2018 season with Salt Lake.[8] After making one start for the Bees in 2018, the Angels will promote Barría to the major leagues on April 11, 2018, to make his debut against the Texas Rangers.[4]
On April 22, 2018, Barria and Brandon Belt of the San Francisco Giants had an at bat that lasted 21 pitches before ending with a fly out to right field, breaking the MLB record for most pitches to a single batter in a single at bat.[9] On the season, Barría started 26 games for the Angels, going 10-9 with 98 strikeouts.
