SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The Giants are returning a 13-person coaching staff that ranks as the largest in the Majors this season, but for top catching prospect Joey Bart, the most impactful instructor just might be one of his teammates: Buster Posey.
“It s good to see him back,” Bart said of Posey, who sat out the 2020 season due to pandemic-related health concerns. “We missed him. It s great to have him. He s just got so much knowledge. The things he says, it s never for waste. . Everyone kind of listens in when Buster starts talking.”
Bart benefited from having Posey as a resource during his first big league camp with the Giants last spring, but he lacked a veteran catcher to lean on after making his highly anticipated Major League debut in August. After watching Bart endure significant growing pains last year, third baseman Evan Longoria said he thought the 24-year-old rookie had been hurt by Posey’s absence.
