Track Record: After winning 2015 Mountain West Conference co-freshman of the year at Nevada, Stevenson moved to Chabot (Calif.) JC in 2016 and then Arizona in 2017. He showed strong on-base skills but hit just one home run as a senior, then signed with the Blue Jays for $5,000 as a 10th-rounder.
Scouting Report: While old for the level, Stevenson had an outstanding pro debut in the Rookie-level Appalachian League, where he led the league in on-base percentage and drew more than twice as many walks (53) as strikeouts (21). He has terrific plate discipline, patiently working the count and rarely expanding the strike zone. He keeps his hands inside the ball with a knack for the barrel, striking out in just eight percent of his Appy League plate appearances. Stevenson is also an above-average runner. While his contact skills and plate discipline are excellent, his power falls on the other end of the scale. He has well below-average power, so he will have to develop more impact for his on-base skills to transfer at higher levels. Stevenson isn't a true burner, but he has the speed and overall baseball savvy to handle center field. Future: Stevenson should start 2019 at one of the team's Class A affiliates and could move quickly.
