What is it with all of our prospects getting hit by pitches in the minors? It SEEMS like this happens very year.Crap
That is so frustrating!Giants lose top prospect Joey Bart for at least 4-6 weeks...
Joey Bart, the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft and the Giants’ top prospect, will be out for at least four to six weeks after fracturing his left hand on Monday night on a hit by pitch, farm director Kyle Haines confirmed.
Bart, 22, was hitting .270/.341/.541 with two home runs in 10 games for the High-A San Jose Giants at the time of the injury.
The fracture occurred in an at-bat during the fourth inning of a rainy Monday night contest against the Stockton Ports. The pitch from right-hander Mitchell Jordan was ruled a foul ball by the umpire, but Bart left the game in obvious pain.
Bart will be in a hard cast for approximately two weeks, according to Haines, and re-evaluated at that point. Depending on when he is cleared for game action, Bart is likely to get at-bats in Arizona, either in extended spring training or the Arizona Rookie League, which opens its schedule on June 19. He could also see time in the Arizona Fall League to make up for the lost at-bats.
While the injury news certainly isn’t good, Bart’s development shouldn’t be significantly impacted, assuming he makes a smooth recovery. The Giants weren’t going to rush him and he was always likely to spend at least half of this season in San Jose. If he returns to San Jose sometime in June, that would still give him plenty of time to finish the season in Double A, should his play warrant the promotion.
Before the injury, Bart had flashed many of the tools that made him the first position player selected in last year’s draft. He had five extra-base hits in 10 games and was playing well on defense.
