Draft Prospects

School: North Carolina. Committed: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.0
Stevenson has a prototypical catcher’s build at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds and as the everyday catcher for North Carolina in 2024 hit .284/.420/.535 with eight doubles, 14 home runs and 58 RBIs. 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 tailored to spray line drives all over the yard. Stevenson has above-average bat speed and advanced feel for the barrel with above-average power to the pull side. In addition to a tantalizing offensive profile, Stevenson is an outstanding defender behind the dish. He’s 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 and has excellent catch-and-throw skills with a plus arm. His baseball IQ is fantastic and he isn’t afraid to backpick an opposing baserunner. Stevenson’s well-rounded profile at a premium defensive position gives him day one upside in the draft. -
