Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Luke Stevenson, 22-year-old catcher and 2025 first-round pick (No. 35 overall) for the Seattle Mariners, is off to an exceptional start in High-A Everett. Through 21 games, he's batting .310/.479/.507 with 8 doubles and 2 home runs. In April 2026, he was named Mariners Minor League Hitter of the Month after hitting .321 with a .500 OBP, .482 SLG, and .982 OPS across 17 games, drawing 20 walks. Stevenson demonstrates outstanding plate discipline and patience, walking 24% of the time—one of the highest rates in the Northwest League.
