Brock Allen Stewart (born October 3, 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

Stewart attended Normal Community West High School in Normal, Illinois and was drafted by the New York Mets in the 40th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft. He did not sign and played college baseball at Illinois State University, where he started pitching as a redshirt junior after having primarily been a third baseman before that.[1]

Stewart was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the sixth round of the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft.[1] He made his professional debut with the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer Baseball League,[2] where he appeared in 17 games (with one start) and was 3–2 with a 3.41 ERA.[3]

Stewart started the 2015 season with the Great Lakes Loons of the Class-A Midwest League[4] and was promoted after seven starts to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League.[5] Between the two levels, he was 4–6 with a 4.46 ERA in 25 appearances (19 starts).[6]

Stewart returned to the Quakes to begin the 2016 season[7] and was promoted to the Tulsa Drillers of the Texas League[8] and Oklahoma City Dodgers of the Pacific Coast League during the season.[9] Despite his promotion he was named to the mid-season Texas League all-star game.[10] He was later named the Dodgers organizational minor league pitcher of the year for 2016.[11] Between three minor league levels in 2016, he was 9–4 with a 1.79 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 21 starts.[6]

Stewart was called up to the majors on June 29, 2016, to start for the Dodgers against the Milwaukee Brewers.[12] He allowed five runs in the second inning and lost the game. He struck out seven and allowed eight hits in his five innings of work.[13] He recorded his first major league win on September 7 against the Arizona Diamondbacks when he allowed only one run in five innings.[14] Stewart made five starts and two relief appearances for the Dodgers with a 5.79 ERA in 28 innings.[15]
