D.J. Stewart 2016

Check out his home/road splits. Wonder if the home fans are giving him the business.

I wouldn't think people would care enough about minor league baseball to boo their own players. I could be wrong.

I think LH vs. RH are the more insightful splits.

Orioles OF D.J. Stewart, Class A Delmarva: 3-for-3, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, SB -- In the words of Vin Scully, deuces were wild for the Orioles' No. 6 prospect, who collected two doubles, two RBIs, two runs and two walks in Delmarva's 7-4 win at Lexington. Wednesday marked the first time in 23 games this season that Stewart collected multiple extra-base hits. In fact, all six of his extra-base hits through 72 at-bats with the Shorebirds have been doubles. The 22-year-old outfielder was flirting with the Mendoza line entering Wednesday but bumped his slash line up to .236/.415/.319. The biggest positive has been that middle number, boosted by a 20.2 percent walk rate. The Orioles should be happy that Stewart is willing to take free passes but likely want to see a little more pop from the Florida State product as spring turns into summer.

With the way he walks his OBP is always going to keep him afloat. If that avg. could just get to .250 and he could just hit a few more HR's, we'd be looking .800+ OPS.

It would need to be significantly more power. He has shown the ability to draw a walk, but he's also struck out 25 times in about 100 plate appearances. As he moves up, better pitchers are going to challenge him and throw it over the dish, trying to see if he can hit it. If he was spraying singles on pitches over the plate, I'd have a lot more confidence. But if he's striking out 25% of the time a pitcher throws strikes then he's in trouble.

And then you'd have a 22 1/2 YO OPS'ing .800 in low A, who has no speed and plays below average defense

If not for his draft status he would be a non prospect

No. Many folks though prior to his tough start that he was the best hitting prospect in the amateur draft. They may have been wrong. Stotle and his friends not withstanding.

Best hitting prospect, or the most "just add water" ready hitting prospect? My perception of what scouts were saying about was that he didn't have a very high ceiling, but was most likely to be okay, and get to the bigs in a short period of time.

Probably a combination of the two.

He does surprisingly have 7 steals already. He runs like a running back; he's got to get from 1st to 3rd gear before it kicks in.

His LH/RH splits continue to widen.

Talk with Manto. Stewart is mentioned.

[webbrick2010]

I'd love to know the scout(s) that recommended this guy

Hitting .129 in his last 10 games, .198 overall

How many times does a healthy first round pick not even make it above low A ball?

Recently they have started to bench (or rest) him.
