Reds' rookie Sal Stewart shares a key trait with Brewers' star Jackson Chourio

Jackson Chourio of the Milwaukee Brewers hit a walk-off two-run single in the ninth inning against the San Diego Padres on Sunday to give the Brewers a 2-0 lead in their NLDS series. Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart and Chourio share a tendency to perform well in high-pressure situations, though their regular season statistics differ slightly—Stewart hit .263 with 32 home runs and 111 RBIs while Chourio batted .291 with 25 home runs and 75 RBIs. Both players have demonstrated clutch hitting ability, with Stewart performing particularly well during Cincinnati's Wild Card Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs in Game 2 after being inserted into the starting lineup.
