Uncommitted. In his last at-bat of the evening, Stephens sent a rocket over the head of the center-fielder for an easy standup triple. Continuing to flash a budding hit tool since we last saw him this fall. At the plate, Stephens syncs up nicely while being extremely well-leveraged to all-fields as well as showing good balance throughout with present bat speed. The sophomore will be a pivotal asset to the Gainesville offense as a table setter atop the lineup, along with being a key versatile piece that can stick in the dirt or in CF.
