Revere had a splendid season at Low-A Beloit, flirting with .400 for most of the summer before being shut down in mid-August with an ankle injury. Revere finished hitting .379 with 28 extra base hits and 44 SB in 57 attempts. Revere is one of the fastest players in the minor leagues whose line drive swing sprays the ball very well to all fields. Revere has impeccable hand-eye coordination which makes him very tough to strike out. Defensively, Revere's speed gives him above average CF range and his arm is average. Revere is lauded for his makeup and work ethic which has been characterized as being "elite". It is unclear of how much power Revere will develop as a pro as he hit only one HR this year. Additionally, while he is tough to strike out, Revere only walked 23 times in 340 AB's. As a leadoff hitter, it would be nice to see him, at minimum, double these totals. Revere has been compared to Seattle Mariners perennial all-star Ichiro Suzuki as a game changing leadoff weapon. 15 years his junior, it may not take long for Revere to start fulfilling those comparisons.
2009 Projection: The Twins have to be ecstatic with the early returns in Revere's game. Many baseball prognosticators considered Revere an overreach as a 1st round pick in the 2007 draft. Revere has firmly placed himself on the fast track and should receive a healthy dose of High-A competition as the leadoff hitter for Fort Myers. If things go well there, it is quite possible that he may find himself playing with AA New Britain later in the summer. Revere is a couple of seasons away from making his MLB debut, but at less than $10 each, his 2007 Bowman Chrome Draft and Donruss Elite Extra autographs look to be supreme values.
