**Joey Bart Powers Up, But Pirates Fall Short**

Joey Bart went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, and four RBI in the Pirates' narrow 7-6 loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance highlighted his potential to deliver significant fantasy value, especially in the power categories. With this game, Bart's season totals have improved, showing a solid .267 batting average and a .377 wOBA, which are encouraging metrics for fantasy managers. His ability to drive in runs, demonstrated by his 12 RBI in 21 games, along with his consistent power (four home runs), suggests that he could be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues with an second catcher spot. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, his production in key categories could offset those losses for fantasy managers looking for a boost in power stats from the catcher position.
