Joey Bart has given Giants fans plenty of reasons to be excited about the future, but on Monday, he gave them a reason to hold their collective breath.
The catcher, who has been on a tear for the High-A San Jose Giants, was removed from a game against the Stockton Ports in the fourth inning after being hit by a pitch.
According to San Jose play-by-play broadcaster Joe Ritzo, it appeared to cause Bart significant pain.
Joey Bart leaves the game tonight after getting hit by a pitch. Looked to hit him on hand/wrist area.
