Stewart has reportedly lost over 20 pounds this offseason and is expected to focus primarily on playing first base this spring with defensive stalwart Ke’Bryan Hayes occupying the hot corner in Cincinnati. The 22-year-old power-hitting prospect has a chance to be an immediate four-category impact fantasy producer after slashing a robust .309/.383/.524 with 20 homers and 17 steals in 494 plate appearances between Double-A Dayton and Triple-A Louisville last season. He’ll compete with incumbent Spencer Steer for the starting job at first base but there’s a clear path to everyday at-bats at DH after the Reds jettisoned Gavin Lux earlier this month. Stewart projects as an immediate 20-homer, 10-steal threat, which makes him an intriguing late-round selection in fantasy drafts this spring. He’s a top-20 overall prospect for dynasty purposes.

Not bad for a rookie deemed unworthy of starting the first game of the series. We don’t know that the Reds will play any additional postseason games these next few years, but if they do, we’re pretty sure Stewart will be in the lineup for any and every one of them.

Stewart will get an opportunity in the heart of Cincinnati’s lineup to face Dodgers co-ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto after coming off the bench during the late stages of Tuesday’s series opener. The 21-year-old top prospect adds some serious thunder to the middle of the order in a win-or-go-home spot for the Reds after homering five times in 18 regular-season contests after being called up in early September. Here’s the full lineup: TJ Friedl (CF), Spencer Steer (LF), Gavin Lux (DH), Austin Hays (RF), Stewart (1B), Elly De La Cruz (SS), Tyler Stephenson (C), Ke’Bryan Hayes (3B) and Matt McLain (2B).

Stewart opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Robert Gasser in the third inning that plated Noelvi Marte. He then crushed a 387-foot (102.3 mph EV) solo shot off of Grant Anderson in the sixth inning that increased the Reds’ lead to 7-2. The 21-year-old slugger has done a nice job in his limited time with the Reds, slashing .255/.293/.545 with five homers and eight RBI in only 58 plate appearances.

Stewart takes a seat for the second consecutive contest after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts during Thursday’s series opener against the Cubs. It’ll be Spencer Steer at the cold corner with defensive standout Ke’Bryan Hayes at third base. The 21-year-old top prospect has homered four times in 14 games since arriving in the big leagues earlier this month.

Stewart has four homers in 11 big-league games. He was due to make his second start at third base tonight, but he was moved back to first after Spencer Steer was scratched. The homer tonight came in his first at-bat against Matthew Liberatore. In his second, he hit a ball 391 feet that would have been a homer in 20 ballparks, but it was just a flyout in Busch. With the 21-year-old Stewart sporting a .919 OPS at the moment, it’s hard not to think about how the Reds’ decision to delay calling him up might have cost them a game or two in the standings.

Stewart gets the nod over Spencer Steer at the cold corner for the second straight contest. The 21-year-old top prospect clobbered a 419-foot moonshot for his second career round-tripper during Tuesday’s narrow victory at Petco Park. He continues to flash big-time over-the-fence power potential and looks like he’s going to make a serious fantasy impact next season as one of Cincinnati’s core building blocks.

He paid off right away, taking Michael King deep for a solo homer in the first inning to put Cincinnati on the board. It was the second career home run for the 21-year-old infielder. He’s 4-for-20 at the plate over five starts.
