This year, the Tech baseball team got off to a hot start behind the hitting it has historically been known for under coach Danny Hall. An unexpected flag bearer has come through to lead that charge at the plate: sophomore catcher Joey Bart.
As a freshman, Bart appeared in 43 games for the Jackets, putting up 47 hits in 157 for a .299 batting average. He finished with one home run that came in a game against UConn at the NCAA Gainesville Regional.
This year, Bart has already matched or surpassed his totals from last year in just over half as many games.
