“Nobody’s going to be Buster Posey,” Logan Webb said. “That’s something I hope doesn’t get put on him. He’s going to be Joey Bart. And it’s going to be something special.”
San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart celebrates with teammates after hitting a solo home-run in the fifth inning against the Marlins at Oracle Park on Opening Day. Joey Bart has been impressive in the first few games of the season, impressing fans with his bat and earning the respect of staff ace Logan Webb with his work behind the plate.
That’s the type of all-around excellence that Bart’s detractors considered him incapable of while disregarding the talent that made him the second overall selection in the 2018 draft. No way, they said, could Bart ever match Buster Posey, the seven-time All-Star who retired after last season. And Bart, who’s beginning what likely will be his first full big league season, obviously still has miles to go before any comparisons to Posey can even be considered.
Bart and Webb fell into a shared rhythm immediately. “I feel like when I’m throwing well, it’s kind of quick-paced, it’s kind of going fast,” Webb said. “He got that. He was ready for it. And it was fun.” “I hate to say this, but it’s something Buster would do, kind of get the feel of the game,” Webb said. “ showed that.”
