William Henry "Skeeter" Barnes (born March 7, 1957) is a former Major League Baseball utility player.

[6] Although Barnes continued to have great success at the Triple-A level for many years, he was unable to find a home in the majors.

Detroit fans appreciated his blue-collar work ethic; he was sometimes called "Crash Davis"[8] after the fictional character in the film Bull Durham, who had spent most of his career in the minor leagues.

During all or part of nine seasons in the majors, Barnes played in 353 games with 614 at-bats, 95 runs, 159 hits, 30 doubles, four triples, 14 home runs, 83 RBIs, 20 stolen bases, 41 walks, .259 batting average, .306 on-base percentage, .389 slugging percentage, 239 total bases, eight sacrifice hits, eight sacrifice flies, and three intentional walks.

[11] From 2007 until his retirement after the 2023 season, Barnes served as a minor-league outfield and base-running coordinator in the Tampa Bay Rays organization.
