Carter Graham just gave Reds another reason to move Sal Stewart to third base

Carter Graham earned MLB Pipeline's offensive prospect of the year award for the Cincinnati Reds organization after a breakout 2026 season in which he doubled his walk rate to 14.5% and hit 29 home runs, more than his entire previous professional total. Originally drafted from Stanford in 2023, Graham struggled with strikeouts early in his career but made significant improvements that earned him a promotion to Double-A Chattanooga. If Graham performs well at Triple-A in 2027, he could occupy first base and allow Sal Stewart to move to third base, a position where Stewart is more effective and where the Reds have lacked offensive production.
