ESPN.com's Jeff Passan reported late Tuesday that the 19-year-old pitcher has agreed to a six-year contract worth more than $7 million with the Japanese Pacific League's Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. Passan described it as "a groundbreaking deal that could have long-term ramifications for Major League Baseball's amateur and professional sides."
The Atlanta Braves drafted Stewart with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft.
