Giants tab Georgia Tech catcher with second overall pick in MLB Draft

SAN FRANCISCO–Thirty three years after the Giants selected Will Clark with the No. 2 overall pick in the 1985 MLB Draft, Clark was in uniform at AT&T Park when the franchise was on the clock Monday.

With the No. 2 selection in the 2018 MLB Draft, the Giants chose Joey Bart, a catcher out of Georgia Tech.

Bart joins Clark, a six-time All-Star and Giants special instructor, as the highest player ever selected by the franchise. The Giants have never held the No. 1 overall pick and only selected in the top five on five different occasions in the organization’s history.
