"Stevens, 27 in February, got to make a very brief major league debut this year. The Angels added him to their 40-man roster in the summer. He got into five games and stepped to the plate 14 times. He notched two singles, the first of which came against future Hall-of-Famer Max Scherzer, but also struck out seven times. He was outrighted off the 40-man in September and became a free agent at season's end."
"He made 981 plate appearances in the minors over the past two years with a .281/.354/.459 batting line. That translated to a 110 wRC+, indicating he was 10% better than league average. He also stole 28 bases in 37 attempts and bounced around the field. He spent just nine innings at first base but had loads of time at the other three infield positions, as well as a handful of games in both outfield corners."
Chad Stevens signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies and was assigned to Triple-A Albuquerque while remaining a candidate for a big-league spring-training invite. He made a five-game major-league debut with the Angels, recording two singles and seven strikeouts, and became a free agent after being outrighted off the 40-man roster. Stevens compiled 981 minor-league plate appearances over two years with a .281/.354/.459 line, a 110 wRC+, and 28 steals in 37 attempts. He has experience at three infield positions, both corner outfield spots, plus above-average sprint speed and remaining options.
