Electric Texas A&M reliever whose 2026 flashes were cut short by injury
In the 2026 season, Texas A&M right-hander Josh Stewart showed high-end relief upside in limited action: a 1.42 ERA, 10 strikeouts, and just one walk in 6.1 innings before a season-ending injury sidelined him again[3][7][10]. His calling card is bat-missing stuff and poise in leverage—he even earned the program’s No. 12 “12th Man” honor entering 2026, a strong sign of leadership and trust[2][9]. The catch: durability has become the big question, with back-to-back seasons interrupted by injury[1][5][14].
