After transferring from Seminole State (Fla.) JC prior to the 2021 season, Levenson has translated a strong bat from the juco ranks to the ACC. After hitting .300 with five doubles and seven home runs in 2022, Levenson got off to a blistering start for Miami in 2023 before fading a bit down the stretch. In mid-March Levenson was hitting over .350 with more walks than strikeouts, but he finished with a .292/.316/.473 slash line, 14 home runs, an 18.7% walk rate and a 12.6% strikeout rate. Levenson stands upright in the box and has a very under control operation with minimal movement, utilizing a toe tap trigger. His barrel consistently stays in the strike zone for a long time, maximizing his window for quality contact. He’s a bit on the aggressive side in terms of swing decisions, but has sound overall contact rates and posted a 107 mph 90th percentile exit velocity. Levenson is an average to slightly above-average defender in right field and he could stick there professionally. He’s an average runner who has a slower first step, but can move well when he gets up to speed with powerful strides.
