Sal Stewart is the undisputed Reds rookie RBI record holder

Sal Stewart set the Cincinnati Reds rookie single-season RBI record with 107, surpassing the previous mark of 106 held by Frank McCormick from 1938. The record had stood unchallenged for decades until Stewart's 2026 season prompted closer examination, which revealed that McCormick likely should not have been classified as a rookie under modern standards since he had played in previous seasons with the team. Stewart reached 101 RBIs on August 28th to pass Jim Greengrass's 100 from 1953, then continued accumulating runs batted in through the rest of the season to claim the undisputed record.
