Stewart put his physicality on full display, consistently using his 6-2, 202-pound frame to impact the game. He opened the day with a 6.94 60-yard dash and showed arm strength during the workout with an 86 mph arm from the outfield and 85 mph across the diamond at first base. In BP, Stewart’s barrel was loud, peaking at a 102.5 mph max exit velocity with a max distance of 363 feet, working from a consistent uphill, pull-side approach designed to do damage. His raw strength was backed by elite swing metrics, posting the highest max bat speed of the event at 85.4 mph (79.5 avg) along with hand speed up to 24.3 mph (23.3 avg). That power translated directly into game action, where Stewart delivered the most impressive swing of the day, launching a no-doubt home run to right field in his final at-bat. The combination of size, strength, bat speed, and in-game power makes Stewart an intriguing follow for me as he gears up for his junior season.
