Not only did Barnes-who is 6'1" and 195 pounds-have a good professional rookie season batting-wise, he also did well when it came to pitching. He hit .310 and had 12 stolen bases in 56 games—and also pitched in three games, won two, and had a 2.25 ERA.
Even though he had success pitching in his first pro year, he found minimal success in the years following.
Perhaps Barnes' best professional season came in 1996, when he was playing for the Angels' Single-A, Cedar Rapids Kernels. His statistics for that season:

(Source: The Baseball Cube) After that season, his success simmered off. But, he still performed well enough to earn a promotion. On April 11, 2001, at 26 years old, he made his major league debut with the Angels. His first glimpse of the major leagues as he hit .100 in 40 at-bats. Perhaps one of the shining moments of his season was one of his four hits was a home run.
Barnes has only made one appearance in the majors since his 40 at-bat season with the Angels. In 2003, with the Dodgers, he appeared in 30 games and hit .211. Since then, he has bounced all over the world, playing in Japan (Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes) in 2004 and in the Marlins organization in 2005.
In 2007, Barnes played for the Las Vegas 51s in the Dodgers system, but he was released in August.
