Joey Bart Shines Despite Pirates' Narrow Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Pirates Correspondent | Thu, Aug 1st 8:09am EDT
Joey Bart went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Pirates' 5-4 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a critical home run and he drove in half of the Pirates' runs for the game. Despite the team's loss, Bart's recent performance could be a sign of him turning a corner after a lukewarm start to the season. His batting average and power numbers are decent for a catcher, and his wOBA suggests he's been quite effective when making contact. Fantasy managers should consider Bart as a viable option in two-catcher leagues or as a potential streaming option, especially if he continues to capitalize on his opportunities at the plate like he did in this game.
