WASHINGTON – The emergence of Yadiel Hernández as a legitimate Major League hitter, including holding his own against left-handed pitchers, is probably one reason Andrew Stevenson has been stuck at Triple-A Rochester all season.
Today, June 1, is the 28th birthday of Stevenson, who like Hernández bats from the left side.
Stevenson was born June 1, 1994, in Lafayette, Louisiana, and was drafted in the second round by the Nationals in 2015.
The speedy Stevenson made his Major League debut in July 2017 and has played at least 15 games for the Nationals every year from 2017 through last year.
