Episode Details

Sammy Stafura has turned a slow start into one of the hottest stretches anywhere in the Pirates farm system. Since June 14, the shortstop is hitting .359 with a .420 on base percentage, an .816 slugging percentage, 13 home runs and 14 stolen bases.

Jim and Anthony Murphy break down what has changed at the plate, how much of the power surge is real, why Stafura’s defense and speed still provide the foundation of his game, when he could reach Altoona and whether his rising value could make him part of a trade deadline deal.
