Christin Stewart stood alone in left field in the fourth inning Sunday with a cool breeze running through his Detroit Tigers jersey. He was calm.

Suddenly, he heard the crack of the bat. Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz’s potential double was rocketing toward the wall. Stewart remained calm.

The former first-round pick quickly tracked the ball, leaped in the air and caught the ball as it streaked across his body.
