NEW YORK — With the additions of two veterans on minor-league deals and the selection of an unproven outfielder-turned-catcher in the Rule 5 draft, the Giants have given every indication that they are not satisfied with the state of things behind the plate.
While that was certainly the expectation when the previous regime drafted Bart second overall in 2018, the problem is that Bart has not been a great major-league catcher. Awarded the starting job and some runway to begin last season, Bart wasn’t even a league-average backstop; he was barely better than a replacement-level player behind the plate.
“I think every opportunity is important for Joey. That’s been true for the last couple of years,” Kapler said. “While I don’t think it’s an easy road to be challenged in any way … but I don’t think it’s impacted his confidence levels. I think he’s done a really, really good job of staying with his work, controlling the things he can control, dating back to the first moment I met Joey Bart.”
