Earlier in the season, Barrett identified the rarely-seen disruptive variety of unsportsmanlike conduct embodied in Rule 6.04—which prohibits any fielder from taking a position in the batter's line of vision and acting in a manner to distract the batter—and ordered the violative fielder Jonathan Villar to stay put with the help of 2B Umpire Lance Barksdale, who efficiently relayed the message.

As was the case in 2016, all four members of Barrett's regular season crew—Barrett, Angel Hernandez, Lance Barksdale, and newcomer John Tumpane—officiated during the postseason, including Tumpane's first-ever selection to the playoffs.

All members of Barrett's crew worked October.

With his own ALDS selection this fall, Barrett has officiated the postseason for 13 consecutive years (2005-17). He finished 16th amongst 92 tracked umpires with a .643 Replay Affirmation Percentage, having been overturned five times in 14 reviews.
