The Reds&#8217; top-ranked prospect played 80 games for Double-A Chattanooga, where he slashed .306\/.377\/.473 with 10 home runs and 13 steals before\u00a0getting a promotion to Triple-A Louisville. The 21-year-old also impressed there, slashing .315\/.394\/.629 with 10 home runs in just 38 games. The right-handed slugger posted better-than-average strikeout rates at every stop in the minors, and now finds himself in the majors, hitting .255 (.320 xBA) with an .832 OPS, .353 wOBA, and a 122 wRC+. Stewart should begin 2026 with the Reds, and redraft managers should get familiar, as he&#8217;s got plenty of pop and bat-to-ball skills to make him very fantasy relevant, not to mention he&#8217;ll\u00a0call hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park home.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/jrrupp5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jarod Rupp<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/milb-announces-double-a-all-stars-award-winners\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MiLB.com<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sal Stewart Named Southern League Player of the Year Share: Link copied to clipboard!
