Joey Bart

Tuesday was a day of firsts for two of the most prominent faces at Giants spring training.

Both of their first round picks from 2017 and 2018 — catcher Joey Bart, and outfielder Heliot Ramos — have been included in MLB Pipeline’s annual list of the Top 100 MLB Prospects.

The Giants have extended non-roster invitations for Spring Training to 18 players.

The San Francisco Giants selected Joey Bart with the second overall pick in last year’s draft, and it hasn’t taken the catcher long to make an impression.

Just over a month after being selected with the second overall pick in the MLB Draft, catcher Joey Bart has been named as the Giants’ No. 1 overall prospect by Baseball America.

The Giants second overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft made quite a statement in his debut with Class A Short Season Salem-Keizer on Wednesday, belting two home runs and collecting four RBIs in a 15-1 win over the Hillsboro Hops.

Recent Giants’ first-round draft pick Joey Bart visited AT&T Park for the first time on Monday evening. The No. 2 overall pick was given his first Giants uniform in the dugout by general manager Bobby Evans, and had his first brief session with the Bay Area media.

In the last two weeks, catcher Joey Bart was drafted second overall by the Giants in the 2018 MLB Draft, received the largest ever upfront bonus for a position player in the sum of $7.025 million, and now he’s finally met Buster Posey, the man he may one day unseat as the Giants’ star catcher.

“When he comes up to the plate you get excited because there’s a possibility of every single at bat that he has that he may hit a ball as far as you can see.”

It’s official, Joey Bart is now officially a Giant and its hard to tell who is more excited: him or his family.
