View Draft Report
A four-year starter for the Griffs, Stewart has shown flashes of promising stuff over the past year. He pitched in relief in the Alaska League last summer, and his velocity spiked, hitting 95 mph. As a starter again this spring, Stewart has pitched more in the upper 80s and low 90s. He shows a fringy breaking ball and has tinkered with a changeup. He has some physicality, standing at 6-foot-2, and he has shown impressive pitchability at times this spring. Scouts believe his stuff is a little bit short for him to make it as a starter, and project him to develop into a solid middle reliever.
