To the metrics nerds who are upset that Sal Stewart won NL Rookie of the Year because of RBIs, I have worse news: He also won because of Home Runs, Slugging Percentage, and Batting Average.
The high school football landscape has changed a lot, but if you were around in Cincinnati in the 70s, 80s or 90s, there was nothing that compared to Moeller vs. Princeton. The talent on the field was legendary. Glad to see these two teams playing big games again.
Sal Stewart is the ninth #Reds player to be named NL ROY:
Jonathan India (2021)
Scott Williamson (1999)
Chris Sabo (1988)
Pat Zachry (1976)
Johnny Bench (1968)
Tommy Helms (1966)
Pete Rose (1963)
Frank Robinson (1956).
