Could Cincinnati Reds Prospect Sal Stewart Hit His Way to the Big Leagues This Season?

Sal Stewart is the Cincinnati Reds ' third-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline. In his first season with Double-A Chattanooga, the 21-year-old is turning some heads with his performance.

Stewart was on base five times last night with four hits, including a double off the left-center field wall.

The infielder is slashing .331/.393/.478 with 17 extra-base hits and is striking out just 15% of the time. One interesting stat is that Stewart is only walking 5.8% of the time this year. That's a number that should continue to go up as he is known for his eye at the plate. His lowest walk rate of his career in a full season is 13.7%.

With the Reds offense struggling, Stewart might just force Cincinnati's hand and find himself on the big league roster by the end of the season if he continues to hit like this.
