A right-handed player, Barrientos won several medals for the Philippines at the Southeast Asian Games, three of them gold medals, including in the men's singles when Manila hosted the event in 1991.[2]
As a professional player he was ranked as high as 180, breaking into the top 200 after he made the quarter-finals of the Hong Kong Open in 1991, during which he had a win over Kevin Curren.[2] His other main draw appearance on the ATP Tour came at the 1991 Queen's Club Championships, where he lost in the first round to Pat Cash, then at Taipei the following year, beaten by John Fitzgerald in the opening round.[2]
Barrientos was a regular member of the Philippines Davis Cup team during his career and featured in a total of 15 ties, for a 18/5 win-loss record in singles and overall record of 26/10. In 1991 he helped the Philippines reach the World Group playoffs.[3]
