EDGE Analysis

Bart belted a sixth-inning George Kirby fastball 430 feet to right-center to put the Pirates on the board. It was the 12th of the year for Bart, who has earned his way into the heart of the order for the Pirates. Over his last 19 games, Bart is batting 24-72 (.338) with six homers, 16 RBI and 15 runs while collecting multiple hits in seven of those contests. Bart, who's currently the Pirates' primary catcher, has begun to earn additional time at DH and with Andrew McCutchen currently on the shelf, expect Bart to remain a fixture in the lineup even when he's not starting behind the dish.

EDGE Analysis

Bart remains hot at the plate, with four homers and 10 RBI over his last seven contests. He's also posted a 1:7 BB:K in that span, but that's of less concern when he's making such authoritative contact. For the year, the catcher is up to a .267/.349/.514 slash line with 10 homers, 32 RBI, 23 runs scored and six doubles over 49 contests. His career high in homers is 11 in 97 games with the Giants in 2022.

EDGE Analysis
