Will it be the same spot every day? Probably not. But first base, DH, second, third, I just think Sal Stewart, they value his bat a lot, and he's going to be in there every day. As long as he hits, right? Like that's the only, but I don't think there's a world where South Stewart's as good as we think he will be. And he's only playing two thirds of the time. I just don't think they have enough guys for that. And I know it's a dangerous game having this much confidence in a young player who's only played, you know, 18 games in the majors. But I have so much confidence, Chris, that he's a really good hitter just between his plate discipline in the minors, his pitch recognition. He hit all different kinds of pitches in the minors last year The walk rate was high The strikeouts were down He hits the ball extremely hard 30 pulled air rate last season in a small sample in Great American Ballpark Sky is the limit for that guy, man.

With a high walk rate and low strikeouts in the minors, his potential is sky-high, making him a player to watch closely this season.
