Belmont Commit. Stevenson had an impressive outing in a pitcher’s dual vs a solid Marist lineup. The physical right hander showed a heavy upper 80’s FB topping out at 89 over 6 innings of work. Stevenson worked all parts of the zone well and had good feel for his sharp CB. The CB had good shape to it playing well off of the FB. Stevenson competes well on the mound and will look to continue his strong Junior season as St. Pius looks to make a deep playoff run.
