[edit] Biographical Information
Carl Ray Stephens, Jr. attended Bradley Central High School in Cleveland, TN.
Drafted by the Cardinals in the 6th round of the 1985 amateur draft, Stephens was not a very successful minor leaguer when it came to hitting-he had a career minor league average of .238-and in 1988 with Louisville, he batted only .189 in 115 games.
Even though he went 1 for 3 in his Major League debut with his first Major League hit being a home run, his career never quite panned out-he hit only .133 in his rookie year (his second of two hits that season was a double, though). His career average ended up being .171.
The players he spent the most time teamed up with over his career were Craig Wilson and Greg Mathews-playing five seasons as teammates with each.
[edit] Other Information
In 1990 and 1991, he wore the number 54. In 1992, he wore 24.
He currently resides in Charleston, TN.
