2025 Player Outlook

Things may not have worked out for Bart in San Francisco, but he may have found a home in Pittsburgh. In 80 games with the Pirates last season, he slashed .265/.337/.462 with 13 home runs (two more than he hit with the Giants across four seasons). He posted a quality 9.4 percent barrel rate, but there could be more power potential with Bart if he can trade some of those ground balls (47.5% ground ball rate) for line drives and fly balls. There’s some swing-and-miss in his game, but there’s optimism that he can cut down on his strikeout rate in 2025. Endy Rodriguez likely gets in the mix at some point, but Bart should be the primary catcher for the Pirates in 2025, providing fantasy managers with some pop (12-16 HR) and an okay average for the position (.240ish).
