For what has been a desolate farm system in recent years, Joey Bart is the Giants' biggest prospect perhaps since Buster Posey, and so far he's following his footsteps.
Bart, the Giants' top pick in the 2018 MLB Draft at No. 2 overall, has been named the best catching prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline of MLB.com. The honor comes less than two weeks after Bart was named the team's No. 1 prospect by Baseball America.
The recently-turned 22-year-old packs the kind of power the Giants have been badly lacking. Bart combined for 29 home runs between his sophomore and junior years at Georgia Tech and his knack for the long ball followed him to the minor leagues.
