Ben Revere of the Philadelphia Phillies Has Ties to Eastern Kentucky





Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Ben Revere robbed Todd Frazier with a diving catch near the warning track in the second inning.  Jay Bruce read it as a hit and was easily doubled up at firstbase after the catch.

Revere grew up in Richmond, Kentucky and attended Lexington Catholic High School.  His father John, played wide receiver for the Eastern Kentucky University Colonels from 1972-1975.  John has been on the EKU coaching staff for the past 16 years, coaching wide receivers and running backs.

Ben was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the first round (28th overall) in the 2007 draft.  The Phillies sent Vance Worley and Trevor May to the Twins in December to obtain Revere.

He split time between the Twins and Rochester last season, hitting .294 in 124 games with Minnesota. He stole 40 bases.
