The catcher appeared to be rather relaxed at the plate as he hit the solo shot during the first game of a doubleheader against the Bowie Baysox.
Bart, along with the organization's No. 2 prospect Heliot Ramos and No. 6 prospect Sean Hjelle, were promoted from San Jose on Thursday after putting up impressive numbers so far in 2019.
During his Single-A stint, Bart slashed .265/.315/.479 with 12 home runs in 57 games.
