Episode Details

Sal Stewart is crushing it as a rookie for the Reds, leading MLB in RBIs with 102 and on track for Rookie of the Year. He just smashed a solo homer at Wrigley to set a new Reds rookie RBI record, and his August has been his best yet — hitting .300+ with homers and RBIs despite a shaky team record. Stewart’s responsible for nearly 20% of his team’s runs, the highest mark for a 22-year-old since Johnny Bench in ’70. His smart approach? Three distinct swing speeds depending on the situation — max power when empty, dial it back with runners, and slow it down for base hits when they’re in scoring position. Not just a slugger — he’s a strategic hitter who knows when to swing and when to be patient.
