After a miserable 2017, at 64-98, the San Francisco Giants earned the number two selection in the 2018 MLB Amateur Draft. They decided to be smart, and take a polished college bat in Joey Bart.
Bart was the number six ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline. He grades out at a 50 hit, 55 power, 30 speed, 60 arm, 55 field according to them. He was linked to the Giants for the last month leading into the draft and the move doesn’t really surprise anybody.
He’s 6’3″ and throws and hits righty. This is his Junior Year at Georgia Tech, and his numbers are quite nice.
