"I was on the bus going to a road game, then [Tigers farm director] Dave Owen called me and told me," Stewart said. "I was ecstatic. I was so pumped, but it didn't come out publicly for a little while, so I had to keep it to myself."
He didn't have to be as secretive when he found out he'd be playing in the Arizona Fall League. Even after 128 games and 443 at-bats, reaching Double-A in his first full season, the Tigers' No. 3 prospect was nearly as excited about being informed of that news as he was about the Futures Game.
