2026 Fantasy Outlook

Last year was a big win for those in dynasty leagues betting on Stewart's high-end hit tool eventually unlocking above-average or better power. He closed the year hitting 15 home runs in 56 games across Triple-A and the majors, logging a .315 ISO in the International League and a .291 ISO in MLB as he logged career-best groundball rates below 38 percent at each stop. He has been a remarkably strong hitter throughout his pro career, logging strikeout rates below 18 percent, a batting average over .275 and a wRC+ over 125 at every minor-league stop en route to his big-league debut Sept. 1. He slashed .255/.291/.545 with a 5.2 percent walk rate and 25.9 percent strikeout rate. His xSlash of .296/.412/.651 and 52.5 HardHit% portend a strong sophomore campaign, as he'll likely strike out less and walk more in his age-22 season. Stewart, who enters the year eligible at first base, can play third, second and first, although it's possible he gets a good deal of run at designated hitter in 2026. He has stolen between 10 and 17 bases each of the last three years in the minors, but he didn't attempt a steal in the majors and is an average runner at best. Read Past Outlooks
