BIO:

Tim Barker’s career can probably best be summed up in three words: longevity, consistency and successful.  Still an active player at the USSSA “C’ level and in the senior program after 40 years, he has built a reputation as the consummate leadoff hitter, utilizing his lifetime batting average of .600-plus, ability to hit to all fields and outstanding speed.  His teams have captured two Metro Tournaments, six State Championships, eight National Invitationals, and one National Tournament, plus four World Tournaments in the Senior Division.  Some of his individual honors include 29 All-Tournament team selections in State, National Invitational and World Tournaments, and seven Most Valuable Player awards. And he’s been selected to the All-Northern Kentucky first team ten times, including 1979, when he was named “Player of the Year.”  He has been a fixture in the lineup of the top ranked teams in Northern Kentucky since he was a teenager, including Log Cabin, Taylor Brothers and Rockcastle Olds at the “A” level.
