Verbally committed to Wabash Valley JC.

Decommitted from Kentucky.

2017 Future Games (8.2.17) - 6-foot-2, 185-pound, physically advanced, wide-shouldered, highly-athletic, right-handed hitting outfielder. Further solidified himself as one of the top 2020 prospects in Illinois. Ran a 6.78 laser-timed 60 on workout day. On the weekend Stinson went 3-for-9 with two doubles. His single in the final game of the weekend, a line drive up the middle, was one of the hardest hit balls of the event. Creates advanced bat speed for his age and has excellent plate coverage. Seemingly can handle any pitch thrown his way and drive it with authority. Aggressive, free-swinging mentality, swings with intent. Starts from a tall, open setup, slight-leg-kick timing trigger and maintains good balance throughout. Middle of the order type of bat, gap-to-gap approach with future power potential; 92 mph exit velocity from a tee. Defensively, stays under control, maintains body control and plays through the baseball with steady hands. Long, quick arm from a ¾ slot, strong arm clocked at 89 mph. One of the top 2020 outfielders in the Midwest.

5.11.17 - Currently ranked No. 2 in the Illinois’ 2020 class and No. 33 overall. 6-foot-2, 180-pound, physically advanced, strong, athletically built, right-handed hitting outfielder. High-ceiling prospect with the bat. Starts from a tall, open setup, relaxed and quiet in the box; slight pre-pitch rhythm in his hands and short leg-lift timing trigger. Quick twitch in swing, stays short to the ball, lower-half involved in swing. Creates explosive bat speed for age, looks to do damage on every swing, maintains good balance throughout and understands the strike zone. In his first at-bat doubled off the left-field wall. Walked in his next two at-bats and then grounded out sharply in his final at-bat. Defensively, natural center-fielder but plays shortstop for Rushville. Long arm action, ¾ slot and throws carry across the diamond. Made multiple over the shoulder catches look easy, ranging into shallow left and center field.  Steady hands and clean exchange on the infield. High-level 2020 prospect.

10.10.16 - 6-foot-2, 180-pound, physically advanced, strong, broad shouldered, right-handed hitting outfielder. Put himself in the category for one of the best 2020 outfield prospects we’ve seen to date, especially with the bat. Advanced offensively, fluid rhythm, present bat speed, explosive hands, made a lot of hard/loud contact and has the ability to backspin the baseball to all fields. Path works short, level and gets extension through contact. Stays balanced throughout, gap-to-gap approach and registered an 88 mph exit velocity from a tee. Defensively, fluid footwork, steady hands and plays through the baseball. Easy, long and loose arm action from a high ¾ slot, throws carry and clocked at 82 mph. Also, ran a 7.21 laser-timed 60. High-level 2020 prospect.
