Joey Bart could join Giants midseason, one scout says, and here's why

Joey Bart didn't take long to prove why the Giants selected him with the No. 2 pick in the 2018 MLB Draft.

As the big-league club stumbled in San Francisco, Bart blasted balls over the wall for the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. He launched nine home runs in his first month in short-season Single-A alone.

Bart joined the Giants in big-league camp this spring and hasn't slowed down at the plate. Through 11 games, the catcher is batting .467 (7-for-15) with one home run, two doubles and six RBI.

One scout told Baseball America it shouldn't take Bart long to reach the big league.
