Pipeline names Tigers' Prospects of the Year

DETROIT -- The drive up Interstate 75 from Fifth Third Field in Toledo takes just under an hour on a good traffic day. For Christin Stewart, the trek from Triple-A to the big leagues was a five-month journey to get ready.

After a solid September with the Tigers, Stewart looks like he should be up for good.

"I'm excited about him," Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's kind of what we're looking for here, talented people with great upside, and I think he really does have that."

For the work Stewart put in along the way, MLB Pipeline honored him as the Tigers' Hitting Prospect of the Year.
