Joey Bart News
San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart isn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday. The Giants will take on the Atlanta Braves and right-handed starter Charlie Morton but will do so with Bart on the bench. In 247 plate appearances for San Francisco this season, the 25-year-old is batting .230 with a .308 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and a pair of stolen bases. Austin Wynns is catching instead on Wednesday and hitting ninth. Wynns has logged 149 plate appearances for the Giants this season, hitting .222 with a .284 on-base percentage and a home run. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options behind the plate are probably better off looking elsewhere.
San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart (concussion) has been activated off the 7-day concussion list. The 25-year-old missed exactly a week due to concussion-like symptoms. Bart will be behind the plate and bat seventh against left-hander Tyler Anderson on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, Andrew Knapp has been designated for assignment by the organization. Austin Wynns will resume his role as the backup catcher behind Bart.

Arguably the best offensive catching prospect in baseball a title that may soon be taken by the Orioles' Adley Rutschman Bart had a rough introduction to the Major Leagues in 2020. His 37% strikeout rate through the first 33 games of his career is a concern especially since he struggled to make contact with pitches in the strike zone almost 10% less often than the MLB average. Bart can handle a fastball but he really struggled with off-speed pitches and breaking balls last year. He'll need additional reps to correct this issue, which means he probably won't be ready to take away significant playing time from incumbent Buster Posey until mid-2021. The good news is that once he's a little more polished as a hitter, Bart's plus power potential should shine through. Even during his MLB struggles last season, he generated a slightly-above-average Exit Velocity and had a 48% Hard Hit rate, which was well above the league average of 35%. Unless Posey enters the year on the disabled list, Bart is a name you'll want to stick in your back pocket for a little later in the season.
