The race for the National League Rookie of the Year is intensifying between St. Louis Cardinals’ J.J. Wetherholt and Cincinnati Reds’ Sal Stewart. Stewart enhanced his candidacy by achieving his 100th RBI of the season during a game against the San Francisco Giants, making him the first player in the majors to reach this milestone this year. He is also the first rookie to accumulate 100 RBI since Pete Alonso in 2019 and only the 45th in MLB history to do so. Stewart’s achievement highlights his exceptional performance in this competitive race.
