While 2025 No. 3 overall Draft pick Kade Anderson continues to dominate for Double-A Arkansas, the second player the Mariners took in last year’s Draft has been making plenty of noise in his own right.
Luke Stevenson (Seattle’s No. 8 prospect) had another big night at the plate on Thursday for High-A Everett against Tri-City, going 3-for-6 with three doubles and a career-high six RBIs in the AquaSox’s 10-5 win at Everett Memorial Stadium.
The 35th overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Stevenson impressed in a brief stint with Single-A Modesto last season, reaching base at a .460 clip over 100 plate appearances.

Stevenson’s upside was one of the reasons the Mariners felt comfortable trading fellow catching prospect Harry Ford to the Nationals in a December deal for lefty reliever José A. Ferrer. The move has paid off so far, with Ferrer posting a 1.90 ERA over 25 appearances for Seattle this season.
Meanwhile, Stevenson has continued to produce at a high level on the farm. He owns a .438 on-base percentage over 146 plate appearances this season, second best in the Northwest League behind teammate Felnin Celesten (Seattle’s No. 7 prospect).
Celesten went 1-for-2 with a walk on Thursday to extended his hitting streak to 25 games. He’s batting .348 with a .456 OBP through 38 games in 2026.
