Big Six Richard Lee Stuart returns to Pirates dream team
Sport Today profiles Richard Lee Stuart nicknamed Big Six, a confident minor league slugger back with the Pillsburgh Pirates. Once slugged 68 homers for Lincoln in the Western League, with notable Mets power feats including 610 feet and 650 feet blasts in prior seasons. Retains strong talk about hitting while being more reserved about fielding, and once drew praise from Ralph Kiner in 1957 predicting major league potential.

Change Stance Aids Slugger But Strikeouts Linger
Change in batting stance under Hall of Famer George Sisler helped Dick reduce his whiffs by more than half this season. He learned first base fundamentals in the Dominican Winter League with coach Frank Ocenk, and his power numbers rose with 45 homers last year across three clubs and 31 this season so far. The big move to the top may come soon as a week or so should settle it.
