Stapler is a key signee for Nicholls State but may be too good to get to campus. He has power in his 6-foot-5, 235-pound body and participated in the International Power Showcase, and he'd contribute at the college level as a hitter. He's more of a prospect as a pitcher for pro ball, though, even though at times his velocity sits in the 84-87 mph range. Stapler also has days when he hits 91-92, and his arm action is fairly clean. He has shown some ability to spin the ball, though his curveball is fringe-average. Stapler is a projection prospect who scouts hope has firmer stuff as he firms up his big body and gains more experience on the mound.
