Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Sal Stewart, 22-year-old Cincinnati Reds first baseman/infielder, has had an impressive rookie season start with a .252/.338/.504 slash line through 41 games, 10 home runs, and 7 stolen bases. He earned NL Rookie of the Month honors for March/April but has experienced a recent slump, going 4-for-40 (.100) over his last 10 games before snapping an 11-game RBI drought with a solo homer on May 7. Stewart is second favorite for NL Rookie of the Year and provides defensive versatility playing first, second, and third base. However, contract extension talks are on hold due to the Reds' financial constraints following a lost TV deal with Mainstream Sports.
