Stinson was selected in the Major League Baseball Draft by both the Kansas City Athletics and Washington Senators but did not sign with either club. He was then taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 7, 1966, as the 15th overall selection in the secondary phase of the draft. Stinson broke into the Majors on September 23, 1969 with the Dodgers, at the age of 23. In 1969 and 1970, he appeared in a total of eight games for the Dodgers. Then on October 5, 1970, Stinson was traded along with Ted Sizemore to the St. Louis Cardinals for Dick Allen. He appeared in 17 games in 1971 for the Cardinals. A journeyman, Stinson moved on to the Houston Astros, spending the 1972 season in that organization. He then played two seasons each with the Montreal Expos and Kansas City Royals.
