Scouting Report

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 45 | Overall: 55

Sometimes prospects come as advertised and live up to early evaluations. Stewart approached the 2022 Draft with most reports lauding his pure hitting ability. Since joining the Reds as a compensation pick that July, he’s done nothing but show off that right-handed bat, really clicking at the upper levels in 2025. Starting the year in Double-A, Stewart advanced to Triple-A and then the big leagues, stopping at the Futures Game along the way. After hitting over .300 with 20 homers at two Minor League stops, Stewart hit five more home runs during his big league debut and was in the middle of the Reds’ lineup in the playoffs.

Stewart’s advanced approach has long been evident and didn’t waver with the move to the upper levels. He’s at the upper registers in terms of pretty much every exit velocity marker, a trend that continued when he was up with Cincinnati. He works counts and draws walks while rarely striking out, with a 15.7 career strikeout rate in the Minors. He can chase a bit because of his tremendous plate coverage, but he can do damage on pitches out of the zone, too. There was always belief in his raw power, and he started tapping into it consistently in 2025 without selling out for it.

While no one has ever doubted his bat, there have been questions about Stewart’s long-term defensive home. He does have below-average speed, but he moves better than people give him credit for, knows how to steal a base and worked on his agility all offseason to give him as much defensive versatility as possible. It was mostly third and a good amount of second base in the Minors, then he learned to play first on the fly in the big leagues, which might be his best spot if he were to settle in at one position in Cincy.

The Reds had a compensation pick in the 2022 Draft after losing Nick Castellanos to the Phillies via free agency. They used it to take Stewart, a multi-sport standout from the Miami high school ranks, because they liked his bat, approach and competitiveness. He’s pretty much been as advertised, hitting his way across two levels of A-ball in 2023, then performing well back in High-A in his second full season, though a wrist injury limited him to just 80 games. 

Stewart’s advanced approach has been apparent from day one of his pro career. He carried a miniscule 15.7 percent career strikeout rate into the 2025 season and he’s walked as often as he’s struck out (138 BB vs. 139 Ks). He makes a lot of hard contact and can send line drives to all fields consistently against all kinds of pitching. Just 21 for all of this season, he’s still learning to tap into his considerable raw power, with confidence it will come without him losing any of his hitability.

A solid basketball player as a prepster, Stewart is more athletic and agile than people give him credit for. His below-average speed does limit him a bit, but he stayed in good shape and split his time almost evenly between second and third base with Dayton last year. His bat is his carrying tool and he has a clean bill of health for the '25 season, with the Reds likely to maintain his positional flexibility so they can get it into the big league lineup when he’s ready.

The first two picks the Reds made in the 2022 Draft were high-school-aged third basemen. Cam Collier, who had reclassified and went to junior college, went No. 18 overall. Stewart came 14 picks later, the pick the Reds got for Nick Castellanos signing with the Phillies. Stewart’s feel for hitting was apparent throughout his first full season as he earned a promotion from Single-A Daytona to High-A Dayton to finish the season.

A baseball rat, Stewart loves to work on his game, and he’s already showing he can really hit. He has impressive bat-to-ball skills and a very advanced approach, walking more than he struck out in 2023. It’s loud contact with high exit velocities and he started to tap into his raw power. More of that is likely to come as he progresses, with confidence he’s never going to need to sell out or sacrifice his approach for power.

Stewart played basketball in high school, and the Reds have been pleasantly surprised with his overall athleticism and footwork. He does have below-average speed but has made efforts to rework his body. He split time with Collier at third base with Daytona but also got some time at second, something the Reds plan on continuing to keep him as athletic as possible. His bat will carry him to the big leagues, and he could really take off in 2024.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 30 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50

The Reds went hard after hitters at the top of the 2022 Draft, taking four position players in the top 75 overall picks. The first two were super-young, with Cam Collier going in the first round and the Reds hitting the Florida high school market to take Stewart No. 32 overall. He made his brief pro debut in the Arizona Complex League last summer, showing off the advanced bat that made him an intriguing Draft prospect in the first place.

Stewart has the chance to be an impact offensive player. The right-handed hitter has a very good approach at the plate with a knack for finding the barrel and making loud contact to all fields. He has very impressive raw power, the ball jumps off his bat in batting practice, and he showed off the pop at events like the MLB High School Home Run Derby in Denver in 2021. He’s a student of the craft and always wants extra swings while bringing a ton of life, energy and personality in and around the cage.

While Stewart’s physically mature frame and below-average speed have some predicting a move from third to a first base-only future, he’s more athletic and has better footwork than expected, thanks perhaps to his background as a high school basketball player. He’s taken ground balls at second since joining the Reds and while that’s unlikely to be a permanent home, don’t be surprised to see him move around a little, especially with Collier soaking up a lot of time at the hot corner.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 30 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50

Westminster Christian School in the Miami area has generated some serious baseball talent over the years, led by Alex Rodriguez, and most recently, Royals catcher MJ Melendez. Stewart could be next in line in terms of hitters with thump to come from the school who make it to the big leagues. He showed off his hit and power tools all last summer, including advancing in MLB’s High School All-American Game Home Run Derby, allowing him to take hacks during the big league Derby over the All-Star break in Denver. This past spring, after proving to be one of the better pure high school bats in the class, Stewart went No. 32 overall to the Reds, who signed him for $2.1 million.

Most of Stewart’s value comes from his right-handed bat. He has a solid approach at the plate and the chance to hit with legitimate raw power he already knows how to tap into. Some scouts think he’s power over hit, but there’s plenty of belief he’ll hit enough to get to the power consistently at the next level. While he’s a below-average runner, he’s more athletic than you’d think given his size for someone who just recently stopped playing basketball at a competitive level.

The lack of speed has led some to wonder where Stewart will play defensively long-term, with some thinking he might eventually have to move to first base. But his feet work fine and he has enough arm to start out as a third baseman, which is where the Reds have positioned Stewart in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League to start his career.
