No. 8: DJ Stewart, OF
2017 Statistics: .278, 21 HRs, 79 RBIs, 26 2Bs, 20 SBs in 126 games (Bowie)
The 2015 first-round selection (25th overall) broke through with the Baysox in 2017. Stewart, 24, was one of only 10 players in the minor leagues with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases last season. He also had a career-high 26 doubles. Although Stewart hasn’t moved up as quickly as some Orioles fans probably would have liked for someone who was drafted out of a major college program (Florida State), he’s steadily climbing the ladder. We’ll see if Stewart can build on the momentum this season. He’ll begin at Norfolk.
