The San Diego Padres selected Barbato in the sixth round, with the 184th overall selection, of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft, and he signed with San Diego rather than attend college. He made his professional debut in 2011 with the Low–A Eugene Emeralds, posting a 4.89 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 15 appearances (13 starts). Barbato spent the 2012 season with the Single–A Fort Wayne TinCaps, making 48 appearances out of the bullpen and logging a 6–1 record and 1.84 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 73+1⁄3 innings.
In 2013, Barbato made 49 appearances for the High–A Lake Elsinore Storm, registering a 5.01 ERA with 89 strikeouts and 14 saves across 88 innings pitched. He made 27 relief outings for the Double–A San Antonio Missions in 2014, recording a 2.87 ERA with 33 strikeouts and 16 saves across 31+1⁄3 innings of work.
On December 29, 2014, the Padres traded Barbato to the New York Yankees in exchange for Shawn Kelley. He made 40 appearances split between the Double–A Trenton Thunder and Triple–A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, accumulating a 6–2 record and 2.67 ERA with 70 strikeouts in 67+1⁄3 innings. The Yankees added him to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season.
Barbato made his major league debut on April 5, 2016. He was optioned down to Triple–A Scranton on May 9, recalled on August 4, and sent back again on August 6. In 13 games with the Yankees in 2016, Barbato had a 1–2 record with a 7.62 ERA.
Barbato was assigned to Triple–A Scranton to begin the 2017 season. On April 13, 2017, he was designated for assignment following the promotion of Jordan Montgomery.
On April 17, 2017, Barbato was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Matt Frawley. In 24 relief appearances for the Pirates, Barbato posted a 4.08 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 28+2⁄3 innings.
