The fast rising Brock Stewart continues to dominant as he moves up the Dodger minor league chain.  Stewart started the year in High A ball, was promoted quickly to AA, and has now made two starts in AAA. His first start was a success but today’s start was dominant with zero walks, and ten strikeouts. The ten strikeouts were a high water mark for Stewart in his professional career.

What stands out about Brock is his strike out to walk ratio. Brock has made thirteen starts and has not walked more than two in any of them. In five of them he has zero walks. In three of them he has one walk. For a guy averaging nineteen outs per start, that is some amazing control.

Brock was barely on the prospect radar headed into 2016. David Hood who does extensive work on Dodger prospects had Brock ranked 36th headed into this season.  Have to think no one has jumped higher, faster up that ranking than Brock.
