Sal Stewart reaches 30 homers, joins elite rookie company

Sal Stewart is the 14th rookie in MLB history with 30+ homers and 100+ RBI in a season the 9 previous players to do it since the rookie of the year award began (1947) all won it

I don't hear anyone arguing that Sal Stewart should be the MVP over Crow-Armstrong or Ohtani. Interesting how RBI only matter in ROY and not MVP, is it now?

Sal Stewart just hit his 30th home run of the year. He now has 104 RBI. He's just the 15th rookie to ever have 30 home runs and 100 RBI.

Sal Stewart continues to rack up RBI’s and make a case for NL Rookie of the Year honors, even if he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. #reds www.mlb.com/news/reds-ra...

You cannot stop Noted RBI-Guy Sal Stewart, you can only hope to contain Noted RBI-Guy Sal Stewart!

Sal Stewart just hit the piss out of HR No. 30. Feeling pretty comfortable about picking him as NL ROY.

2 RUN 💣💥💥 The Rookie Of The Year, SAL STEWART!

Sal Stewart now has 30 home runs and 100 RBI (one of 5 players to do it since 1994), and he's done it before the calendar turns to September, but sure, keep telling me he's not the ROTY because his WAR (a subjective stat) isn't high enough 🙄

It’s wild that there’s even a debate about NL ROY when Sal Stewart is gonna end up with (at least) 30 HRs and 100 RBIs and the argument for the other guy is basically that he’s better at defense

sal stewart responds to the PCA homer with a two-run shot of his own. 6-4 cubs... in the 3rd. gausman is cooked.
