The Nationals selected LSU outfielder Andrew Stevenson 58th overall in the second round on Monday night with their first pick of the 2015 MLB Draft.
Stevenson, who just turned 21, hit .356 with one homer, 53 runs, 26 steals and an .865 OPS his junior year. His LSU Tigers advanced to the College World Series on Sunday and will be one of eight teams to play for the national championship in Omaha.
Stevenson is listed at 6-foot, 184 pounds. He is considered one of the best defensive outfielders in college baseball.
The Nationals were given the 58th selection as compensation for 2014 second round pick Andrew Suarez not signing.
