Carl Ray Stephens Jr. (born September 22, 1962) is a former Major League Baseball catcher who played for the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers between 1990 and 1992.

Born in Houston, Texas, Stephens attended Bradley Central High School in Cleveland, Tennessee.

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.

Nevertheless, on September 20, 1990, at the age of 27, Stephens made his Major League debut.

He currently volunteers as a coach for his alma mater, Bradley Central High School
