The Joey Bart era is officially underway.
The San Francisco Giants announced on Thursday morning that Bart — the second overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft — has been called up.
There’s been a lot of speculation as to when Bart — arguably the team’s top prospect — would get called. He hit the stitches off of the ball in Spring Training, but the team reassigned him to the Minor Leagues shortly before the season was suspended.
He picked up where he left off at Summer Camp, but Farhan Zaidi, Scott Harris, and Gabe Kapler held their position, claiming that Bart needed some more developmental time before being thrust into the Majors.
