Fans of the UNC baseball program won't be surprised one bit to hear that Luke Stevenson is off to a strong start within the Seattle Mariners organization.
The former Tar Heel has begun his professional baseball career with the Modesto Nuts, the Mariners' Single-A affiliate. He made his professional debut on Tuesday night, putting together a performance that shows why the Mariners took him with their first round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
While we often start talking about offense, let's focus on Stevenson's defense for a second! Runners learned quickly that they shouldn't test the former Tar Heel, as Stevenson threw a bullet down to second base to catch a base runner who was attempting to steal a bag.
