A couple weeks after the Tigers named Christin Stewart and Joe Jimenez their organizational player and pitcher of the year, MLBPipeline.com honored the slugging outfielder and overpowering closer as their Tigers hitting and pitching prospects of the year.
The awards cap a season that included an All-Star Futures Game appearance for both, as well as a quick ascension up the farm system for Jimenez.
For Stewart, the award honors his slugging performance, becoming the first Tigers prospect with a 30-homer season since Steven Moya in 2014. Stewart, a first-round pick in 2015, hit .255 (113-for-443) between Class A Advanced Lakeland and Double-A Erie with 30 home runs and 87 RBIs.
