5. Andrew Stevenson, of | Born: June 1, 1994. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 185. Drafted: Louisiana State, 2015 (2nd round). Signed by: Ed Gustafson. Background: After finishing his college career by helping Louisiana State reach the 2015 College World Series, Stevenson hit the ground running in pro ball, quickly advancing to low Class A Hagerstown in his debut. He carried that momentum into 2016, which began at high Class A Potomac, included a midseason promotion to Double-A Harrisburg and ended with a strong showing in the Arizona Fall League. He led the AFL in hits (30) and finished second in the batting race. Scouting Report: Stevenson employed an unconventional set-up at the plate at LSU that forced him to slash at the ball. The Nationals worked with him to adjust his hands and give him a better chance to drive the ball. His swing is still geared to hit the ball on the ground to take advantage of his well above-average speed, but he also lines the balls into gaps for extra-base hits. His speed and feel for the barrel are good enough to make him a top-of-the-order candidate. Stevenson is a plus defender in center field with exceptional range thanks to his speed and instincts. His below-average arm strength is his only defensive deficiency. The Future: Stevenson earns praise for his high-energy play and makeup. He likely will return to Harrisburg to start 2017, looking to build on his strong finish to the season. 2016 Club AVG OBP SLG AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB Potomac (HiA) .304 .359 .418 273 37 83 12 8 1 18 24 44 27 Harrisburg (AA) .246 .302 .328 256 38 63 11 2 2 16 20 51 12 --
