- Stewart hit his 25th home run on Thursday, Aug. 6, moving past Joey Votto for the most home runs by a Reds rookie.
- He has 25 homers, 87 RBI, a .257/.336/.484 line and 12 stolen bases across 114 games this season.
- Among qualified National League rookies he ranks first in both home runs and RBI and sits in the top five in OPS.
- Manager Terry Francona praised Stewart’s adjustments and consistency, and the Reds have used occasional DH and position shifts to manage his workload.
- If Stewart sustains his current pace he projects to about 123 RBI, which would break the Reds rookie RBI record and be the team’s highest total since 1985.
