Primarily an outfielder, he also played some games as a pitcher or an infielder.

Notes

  1. On December 16, 2020, Major League Baseball declared the Negro leagues, from the span of 1920–1948, to be a "Major League". Baró's statistics reflect his time in the Negro leagues from 1920–1921 and from 1923 until the end of his career.
