Stagno is a 5-foot-7, 113 pound right-handed hitting outfield/infield prospect. He hits out of an even stance, with the hands set just off the back shoulder. The swing begins with a toe tap and a pushing back of the hands. The bat works through the hitting zone on a flat, direct path, producing a lot of solid contact and a max exit velocity of 72 MPH. He finishes through contact and stays balanced throughout the swing.

In the outfield, Stagno was 67 MPH on his throws. The feet work well and put him into a good fielding position. He transitions well through the play, creating a good line with his target and using a high arm slot. He finishes over his front side and continues along the same good line.

In the infield, he was 63 MPH on his throws across the diamond. The feet were light, allowing him to get into a fundamental fielding position. The hands are soft as he transitions through the ground ball and into the throwing position. He creates a good line with his shoulder to the target and uses the same high arm slot to work the ball across the infield. He finishes through the play nicely, keeping in line with the target.
