Michael Jordan made the athletic shrug famous.

Cincinnati Reds rookie phenom Sal Stewart is the latest to break it out. You can see it in that photo at the top of the article.

There's nothing more Stewart can do at this point than shrug. 

The numbers speak for themselves. 

A lot of headlines try to hide the magic. This one tells it to you like it is.

Stewart is hitting .700.

He has a 2.069 OPS.

Yes, it's just the first weekend of the season. But that's still absurd.

The numbers more specifically? 

Stewart is 7-for-10. He has three singles, three doubles and a home run. 

The slugger has also walked three times, and he hasn't struck out yet.

This is an all-time heater to start the season for the 22-year old.

He might just keep shrugging. But the reality is this: Stewart is raking because he's a special talent. All the Reds will do is applaud him.
