Giants' Joey Bart named No. 29 prospect in Baseball America's Top 100

The honors keep coming for Joey Bart. On Wednesday, Baseball America's annual Top 100 MLB prospects list entering the 2019 season was unveiled, and Bart was the lone Giants prospect to be named.

Bart, the Giants' top pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, is Baseball America's No. 29 overall prospect. The outlet calls Bart "an excellent defensive catcher with big power" and says "Bart is the heir apparent to Buster Posey in San Francisco."

The latest recognition for Bart comes a week after MLB Pipeline named Bart the top catching prospect in baseball and the Giants' best defensive prospect.
