An athletic 6-foot shortstop from the Northeast who got off to a slow start to his pro career after getting drafted 43rd overall in 2023, Stafura found his footing in 2024 at Single-A as a 19-year-old. He slashed .255/.374/.379 with six home runs, 27 steals, a 14.8 percent walk rate and a 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 77 games in the Florida State League. He ranked first in OBP and third in steals among 20 and under hitters in the FSL and could get to more over-the-fence power in the coming years, given his frame and understanding of the strike zone. Stafura seemingly has a pretty high floor, as he should stick at shortstop and has a good approach, and he also has a high ceiling, especially since he might get to play his home games in Great American Ball Park.
