Sal Stewart Becomes Youngest to Reach Base 3+ Times in First Four Games

MLB recognized the 22-year-old Reds first baseman with National League Player of the Week honors.

Overview

  • Stewart, who reached three times Monday in Pittsburgh, became the youngest player since at least 1900 to do so in each of his team’s first four games, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs.
  • His early line sits at 8-for-11 with five walks after the Pittsburgh game, which also included his first strikeout of the season.
  • MLB named him National League Player of the Week earlier Monday for a Boston series in which he went 7-for-10 with a home run, three doubles, and three walks.
  • He stayed in after a 110-mph liner struck his forearm on Opening Day and collected two of his three hits after the scare.
  • Sportsbooks shifted his Rookie of the Year odds, with WLWT citing FanDuel and DraftKings at +400 and BetMGM at +200.
