    Stewart made a case as one of the premium bats of the 2022 high school group, with an impressive track record of performance and big-time raw power out of a large, 6-foot-1, 225-pound frame. Stewart pairs power with impressive bat-to-ball ability and scouts were particularly impressed with how he tracked and did damage against breaking stuff. He controls the zone at an impressive rate and should have power that plays to all fields. This spring in South Florida, Stewart hit .506 with nine home runs and 13 doubles, while walking 30 times and striking out just six times. While Stewart’s frame and strength afford him plenty of power, he’ll need to maintain his body moving forward to stick at third base. He has solid hands, instincts and arm strength for the position, but he’s a well below-average runner who will need to improve his footwork and get as much lateral mobility as he can to stick at the hot corner. He could easily wind up moving to first base, where he should have the bat and power to still profile nicely. Stewart is committed to Vanderbilt but is viewed as a top-three round talent.
