The Cincinnati Reds first round selection (#27 overall): Phillip Ervin - Outfield - Samford
Ervin is a short, but athletic outfielder who has played center and left field in college. He is an above-average to plus speed guy who could play all three outfield positions depending on the team needs. Offensively he has above-average power potential and scouts love his swing. If you watch the video, you can see how short and quick it is to the ball.
More to come soon.
