Overview

2023
Stumbo got into five FCL games after signing. In 6.1 IP, he gave up four hits and didn’t walk anybody. He spent 2024 in the Bradenton bullpen, apart from a few opener-type starts. In the first two months, Stumbo had a 2.96 ERA, but he got hit hard after that, with a 5.82 mark the rest of the way. For the season he had good walk and K rates, 3.5 and 10.1 per nine innings, respectively. He got hit fairly hard, though, and had some trouble with gopher balls. Opponents had a .442 slugging average against him, nearly 100 points above league average.
