On Monday night in St. Louis, Sal Stewart showed once again why he's the No. 1 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds farm system. The 21-year-old absolutely crushed a home run just below the second deck at Busch Stadium during the second inning of the Reds' 11-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was Stewart's fourth blast since being called up on September 1.
Since his arrival, Stewart has been everything the Reds could've asked for, and more. The rookie is hitting .297 with a .622 slugging percentage and a 140 OPS+. So that begs the question, did the Reds wait too long to promote Stewart to the big leagues?
