Georgia Tech Baseball: Joey Bart named MLB’s top catching prospect

Former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Joey Bart is used to be in the spotlight by now. Entering last season, the backstop was considered one of the top prospects in the 2018 MLB Draft eligibility pool. By the time the draft came around last June, Bart had skyrocketed up all draft boards and was taken with the second overall pick by the San Francisco Giants.

Now entering his first full season as a professional ballplayer, Bart is adding more accolades to his name. The newest one is entering the 2019 season as MLB Pipeline’s top overall catching prospect in all of baseball.
