Sammy Stafura
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his age-relative-to-level performance, athleticism, and shortstop background, Stafura projects as a bat-first utility infielder with a chance to grow into a second-division regular if the hit tool stabilizes. The path to that outcome runs through tightening his swing decisions versus spin and learning to get to his power without overexpanding the zone. Defensively, continued reps at both shortstop and second base should keep him viable on the left side, with second base the likeliest long-term home due to more modest arm strength and occasional internal-clock hiccups. If the contact quality and game power both tick up a half-grade, his blend of pop, on-base ability, and baserunning could support everyday run on a non-contender. If the strikeouts remain elevated, he still profiles as a useful multi-positional piece who can offer energy, some thump, and speed off the bench.
