As we move down the group, the size of metal ion increases so hydration energy decreases. Since \mathrm{Ba}^{2+} is the heaviest ion, it is least hydrated.
As a result, its size of hydrated ion becomes lesser than any other hydrated alkaline earth metal cation and hence has the highest ionic mobility.
