School: North Carolina Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.0
Stevenson hit an eye-popping .512 as a senior in high school and has a prototypical catcher’s build at 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds. He is plenty physical with a thick lower half and strength in his wrists and forearms. In the box, Stevenson oozes comfortability and confidence. He has a low-maintenance setup with his knees slightly bent, a medium-high handset, and a minimal load and stride. It is a direct, compact swing that is tailored to spray line drives all over the yard. Stevenson is a plus hitter with above-average bat speed as well as an advanced feel for the barrel. He also has above-average power to the pull side. In addition to a tantalizing offensive profile, Stevenson is an outstanding defender behind the dish. He is a great receiver who consistently works below the baseball and steals strikes. Stevenson moves well laterally and does an outstanding job of controlling balls in the dirt. He has excellent catch-and-throw skills with a plus arm to boot. His baseball IQ is fantastic and he isn’t afraid to backpick an opposing baserunner. Stevenson was a top performer this fall for the Tar Heels. Catchers who can hit are always a premium and Stevenson fits the bill. Expect him to be squarely in the mix for the ACC’s freshman of the year award and has freshman All-American upside. If he hits as expected, Stevenson will be a first-rounder in 2025. -
