Sal Stewart was precocious, now he’s just metal as all hell
Cincinnati’s burgeoning star put his team on his back again on Wednesday.
CINCINNATI, OHIO - AUGUST 19: Sal Stewart, a 26-year-old baseball prospect for the Cincinnati Reds, hit a stunning three-run home run in the sixth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals at Great American Ball Park on August 19, 2026. The Reds won the game 5-4. The young player, who was called up just two weeks earlier, has been an unstoppable force this season, leading the MLB in RBIs.
Despite the Reds' overall poor offensive performance, Sal Stewart has been the team's savior. He continues to defy his age, being younger than several other promising players in the league. With a projected 30 home runs and 120 RBIs for the year, it's clear that Sal Stewart has a promising future. The Reds will need to find more support for their young leaders to make the most of their current season, which has been far from ideal.
