Bart, who recently was named to the ABCA/Rawlings Atlantic all-region second team as a catcher, was also an all-ACC second team selection and Johnny Bench Award Semifinalist this past season.

Bart led the team with 13 home runs and 43 RBIs on the year despite missing the last 11 games of the season due to an injury. In addition to the home runs and RBIs, the sophomore hit .296 with 55 total hits, 13 doubles and 36 runs. He also posted a team-best .575 slugging percentage and threw out 10 would-be base stealers.
