MLB Draft: Seattle Mariners Take UNC’s Luke Stevenson in First Round
Posted Jul 13, 2025
Luke Stevenson entered the professional ranks with first-rounder status on Sunday, when Seattle made him the No. 35 overall choice in the 2025 MLB Draft. He's the highest-drafted catcher out of Carolina in 40 years, since B.J. Surhoff was the No. 1 overall pick in 1985. For this draft, the slot value assigned to Seattle's selection of Stevenson is $2.76 million.
