RANKS
Rest of Season
From Preseason
$Signed a one-year, minor-league contract with the Pirates in January of 2025.

OFPittsburgh Pirates  AAA
March 24, 2025
The Pirates informed Stewart on Monday that he won't be included on the Opening Day roster, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He had been in the mix for reps at first base while Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is sidelined to begin the season, but Stewart ultimately will not head north with the big club. Stewart has an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and will likely exercise it, allowing him to become a free agent and pursue options elsewhere.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020

2017
2016
The Mets, in Stewart, have a slimmed down version of Daniel Vogelbach that they can actually use at a position. Vogelbach was strictly a DH against righties whereas Stewart can play left field thanks to the strength of his throwing arm even if he is rather limited in his range. Stewart is up at the plate to elevate and celebrate with a propensity for pulling the ball with extreme prejudice as just three of his hits in 2023 were to the opposite field. Stewart did split time between Triple-A and the majors and finished with 26 homers and 102 strikeouts in 348 plate appearances. He has struck out in 27.6% of the time in just over 800 career plate appearances, and should be in a strong side of a platoon in right field where he can be benched against lefties and pulled for late inning defensive purposes. This, of course, assumes the club is not intent on upgrading the position with a better option. The best case scenario for Stewart is NL-Only late round viability.
Stewart had a memorable two weeks as he hit .394/.444/1.061 for a 10-game stretch against Atlanta and both New York franchises. Compare that to the final line and understand how awful the rest of his season was. Stewart was patient enough to accept walks in an acknowledgement a walk may be his best chance at reaching first base. He was particularly terrible against fastballs, hitting .085 against the heat once the league figured out that it could blow velocity by him last season. He is defensively challenged, and the albatross which is Chris Davis' contract eats up some of the at-bats Stewart could get as he tries to find his way at the big-league level. He is three seasons removed from a 20-20 season in Double-A, but there are too many flaws with him right now for anything other than a reserve-round flier in AL-only leagues.
After surfacing in the majors in 2018, Stewart saw more action with the Orioles in 2019, though the results weren't especially encouraging. Through 44 games, he slashed .238/.317/.381 with four home runs and 15 RBI, good for an 82 wRC+. He did manage to lower his K-rate from 25.5% to 18.3%, with a 9.9 BB%. Stewart spent the majority of his time at Triple-A Norfolk, where he found better success, hitting .291 with 12 homers and 47 RBI across 63 contests. The 25-year-old has shown signs of pop at the dish while in the minors, though it's yet to translate to in-game power in the big leagues. He played close to every day near the end of the year, slugging four homers and registering 12 RBI in September (23 games). Stewart underwent microfracture surgery on his right ankle in October and isn't expected to resume baseball activities until the end of spring training, so he will likely open the year on the IL.
Stewart had a disappointing season at Triple-A Norfolk, slashing .235/.329/.387 with 12 home runs, but was nonetheless recalled after roster expansion in September for his major-league debut. The 25-year-old only saw 40 at-bats with the Orioles so it wasn’t a statistically-revealing endeavor, though he did showcase some power with three home runs. The 2015 first-round pick had a solid 11.0% walk rate at Triple-A and that plate discipline would prove valuable in the majors, especially for Baltimore, which took the fewest walks in baseball. Stewart should enter spring training with a chance to earn one of the starting outfield spots, as the departure of veteran Adam Jones leaves the Orioles without any established outfield pieces. That said, he may sit against lefties even if he earns a starting gig and his value is likely to be limited to AL-only formats. A summer prospect wave should result in him getting displaced if he is not producing.
Stewart was drafted in the first round last year out of Florida State, but he has not quite shown as much power as expected in his brief professional career. Stewart hit .254 with 10 home runs in 121 games between Low-A and High-A. He is sneaky athletic and swiped 26 bases while being caught just nine times over that span. Stewart also showed excellent patience at the dish, drawing 78 walks en route to a .377 on-base percentage, while bringing his strikeout rate below 20 percent. The 23-year-old could advance to Double-A relatively early on in 2017. He will work on improving his left-handed power stroke along with making more consistent contact.
Baltimore made a push for offense in the 2015 draft and Stewart was the team's first selection with the 25th overall pick after he had a .500 OBP and 15 home runs with Florida State in the spring. Stewart's power is easily his best tool and he projects for a healthy amount of MLB home runs one day. He can also show patience at the plate as he led the NCAA in walks last spring. Stewart struggled in his pro debut but should improve upon the 8.6% walk rate he had at short-season. There are some concerns that he may not move well enough in the outfield to be able to field the corner positions, so there is a possibility he could become a DH one day. Look for Stewart to start the season at Low-A. If he can build on his plate discipline and make better contact than he did last year, he could move quickly through the system.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for regular role?
OFNew York Mets  AAA
June 25, 2024
Starling Marte is likely to be placed on the injured list after being diagnosed with bone inflammation in his knee Monday, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post, and Stewart is a candidate to fill the strong side of a platoon in right field going forward.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Stewart has recently seen semi-regular playing time as the Mets' No. 4 outfielder but could now have a stable place in the lineup against right-handed pitching, at least while Marte is sidelined. Stewart has a .204/.350/.372 slash line versus right-handers this season and doesn't offer much fantasy upside.
