Baret combines a consistent carrying threat with high defensive output, averaging nearly eight tackles per match alongside a steady stream of metres gained — a workload that marks him as a central figure in Lyon's forward exchanges. His peak performances, reaching 14 carries and 17 tackles in a single game, show he can absorb a significantly elevated share of contact duty when the match demands it. Three tries across the dataset add a genuine attacking dimension to what is already a well-rounded set of numbers for a number eight.
