Stevens needs more ABs. That's my biggest gripe with the staff at this point in the season. We're 1/3 of the way thru the season and he has 13 ABs. Whether he missed the fall or not, that's ridiculous.
It's because he is a dual position player who also missed most of the fall with an injury. They don't want to rush him.
Right now at this stage in his career he isn't going to hit when they know they are going to pitch him.
I suspect he is going to continue to get Friday's to pitch even when Dohm comes back.
The talent is there but he is a bit more complicated because he is a unique player and is just a freshman. In time I think he will do both but that's probably going to be 2025.
