Phillip Ervin got out to a great start in 2015 for the Daytona Tortugas. The 2013 1st round draft pick needed a strong start in the worst kind of way after struggling for almost the entirety of 2014. On the season he’s hitting .266/.348/.430, good for an OPS of .778. At face value, a .778 OPS doesn’t sound all that impressive, but when you consider that the league average OPS is just .654, it really puts it in perspective how pitcher friendly the Florida State League is. Ervin’s performance landed him inside the Top 10 of my just released Cincinnati Reds Midseason Top 25 Prospect List.
