Stafford checked a ton of boxes throughout the week with Prostock 15U. Standing a lean, athletic 6-foot-1, 170-pounds, Stafford worked out of the leadoff spot all week while showing real signs of a high-level hit tool. Showing quiet actions at the plate, Stafford shows great balance throughout a well-leveraged left-handed cut. Hands stay back creating quality separation with a strong ability to pick up spin out of the hand. Never looked overmatched against any pitching and showed ability to use the whole field with ease. Equally impressive on the mound, Stafford showed why he's one of the better two-way prospects in Georgia's 2028 class. Working downhill from an over-the-top slot, the freshman RPh was able to run it up to 85 while living 81-84 with huge carry that created tons of swing and miss at the top of the zone. Curveball and changeup show promise in the low-70s with the latter being a weapon to LHH with some late arm-side fade. Stafford is listed in the “sleeper” portion of the article, but there's a real chance for a breakout profile here.

Uncommitted. An advanced all-fields approach at the dish showed up time and time again from the freshman on Friday night. The smooth swinging lefty possesses a quiet confidence with a mature understanding of the strike zone. Coupled with excellent barrel accuracy. Resulting in one quality at-bat after another. An athletic frame at 6-foot-1, 160-pounds with more on the way. Will be a name to watch over the next couple of years.
