After losing their first round pick to the Tigers for signing Max Scherzer, the Washington Nationals were forced to wait until the second round to make their first selection of the 2015 MLB Amateur Draft. Washington selected 21-year old outfielder Andrew Stevenson out of LSU with the 58th overall pick. Stevenson, fresh off a deep run in the College World Series, reported to the Gulf Coast League Nationals for his first taste of the minors.
Stevenson, a left-handed contact hitter, is best known for his defensive skills in center field.
