1. 3B Sal Stewart | 22 | MLB | 2025

The 32nd overall pick in 2022, Stewart enjoyed a breakout season in 2025, slugging more than .500 for his first time as a professional. At 6’1” 224 lbs with plus plate skills, he’s always had latent power that could make him a force in fantasy baseball. He likes to run and stole 17 bases in 20 attempts across two minor league levels, but he’s not fast: 14th percentile sprint speed according to statcast. Don’t have to be fast to steal some bags these days, and Stewart will probably find a half-dozen or so free bases even early in his career as he did in this year’s postseason. In 138 total games across three levels, he hit 25 home runs and stole 18 bases while hitting .300 with a great strikeout-to-walk rate. Should open next season as a rookie-of-the-year frontrunner.

Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Reds sent SP Luis Castillo to Seattle in what feels like the first real trade of the deadline rush even though it wasn’t. It’s hard to hate this deal from either side. Cincinnati lands a prospect package the prospect people will promise they should be happy about. Seattle gets the kind of pitcher that makes you a pain in the playoffs. Pretty easy to see who wins the deal over the next couple seasons, and it’s not the team hoping to compete someday somewhere over the rainbow.
