BA GRADE
45
Risk: Medium
Born: June 1, 1994. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 185. Drafted: Louisiana State, 2015 (2nd round). Signed by: Ed Gustafson.
After struggling in Double-A during his first trip to the Eastern League in 2016, Stevenson started the 2017 season with Harrisburg, where he posted an .866 OPS before being promoted to Triple-A and getting his first taste of the big leagues in late July.
Stevenson was overmatched at the plate in Triple-A and the majors, with elevated strikeout rates cutting into his production. He has shown the ability to adapt to higher levels in the past, but will likely never be an impact bat because his power is more of the doubles variety than over-the-fence. Stevenson is a strong athlete who takes good routes with above-average speed that leads to great range, giving him a chance to be an above-average defensive center fielder. His arm is below-average, which might make him a better fit for left, where his bat doesn’t profile.
Given his speed and baserunning ability, Stevenson appears to be a safe bet as a fourth outfielder or second-division regular but will need more time to adjust to advanced pitching.
