Sammy Stafura Fantasy Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura to High-A Greensboro. Stafura was included in the package from Cincinnati that sent third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Reds shortly before the trade deadline. Once he joined Pittsburgh, the Pirates opted for Stafura to begin his tenure with the club at Low-A Bradenton. Through four games with them, Stafura went 4-for-16 at the plate with a double and a triple. He spent the majority of the campaign with Cincinnati's Low-A affiliate, the Daytona Tortugas. Across 88 contests, Stafura held a solid .262/.393/.411 line with four home runs and 28 stolen bases. Dynasty managers should continue to monitor Stafura's production as he was considered the Reds' No. 8 prospect before the trade.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura enjoyed a breakout game with his new club on Friday evening. Stafura was included in the package that sent Ke'Bryan Hayes to Cincinnati shortly before the trade deadline. After going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his Low-A Bradenton debut, Stafura would go 3-for-4 with a double and a triple on Friday evening during his second game. Through 88 games with Cincinnati's Low-A affiliate (Dayton), Stafura would hold a solid .262/.393/.411 slash line with an .804 OPS, 18 doubles, four home runs, and 28 stolen bases. He was drafted by the Reds in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft out of Walter Panas HS. Fantasy managers should expect the 20-year-old to likely remain at Low-A through most of the second half.

The Cincinnati Reds acquired third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes from the Pirates in exchange for relief pitcher Taylor Rogers and shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura. Stafura is a 20-year-old former 2nd round pick, and he's posted a .262/.393/.411 slash line with a 131 wRC+ in 402 plate appearances at Low-A this season. He's consistently posted high walk rates during his time in the minors since 2023, with his lowest walk rate in a stint being 14.8 percent. There is still a good amount of swing and miss in his profile, and the power hasn't fully materialized yet, but he does have an average future power grade. Stafura's calling card is his speed, as he has stolen 28 bases so far this season after swiping 31 across multiple levels in 2024. The upside is in question with a questionable hit tool and limited power, but his speed is intriguing.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI on Wednesday evening. This was his second consecutive game going deep. Through his first look at Single-A ball, the 19-year-old has performed well with a .266/.376/.417 line, five home runs, 30 RBI, 17 swiped bags, and a 32:57 BB:K ratio. Since July 3, the young infielder has begun to heat up at the plate, holding a .286 AVG and a .473 SLG. Stafura opened the campaign, getting his second look in Rookie League, and posted a stellar .345/.449/.582 line. Stafura currently sits as the 14th-best prospect in the Reds pipeline on MLB.com and could see most of the next summer at High-A, given his current trajectory.
