a long swing with a "big timing hitch", he makes "excellent line-drive contact" and is a productive leadoff hitter with excellent speed. The Baseball Cube's player ratings, which are based solely on statistics on a 0-100 scale, rated Revere as a 98 for contact and a 97 for speed. Defense Defensively, Revere has excellent range in the outfield and, during the 2012 season, amassed a 16.4 ultimate zone rating (UZR), which is well above average. FanGraphs described him as being an "elite" defensive player due to his speed and range. Even when he has struggles offensively, his defense has warranted him being in the lineup both during the early stages of his career with the Twins as a Right fielder and during his 2013 slump with the Phillies. Though Revere uses his speed efficiently in covering ground in the outfield, he has struggled to produce with his below average arm. However, in 2014, some writers asserted that his speed covered for poor range in the outfield, and that he truly was a below average outfielder. Personal life Described by writer Craig Hughner as embodying a "full-throttle" style of play along with a "genuine, charismatic personality", Revere is known for his energy on the field. Revere called his personality a product of the manner in which he was raised, and that he always tries to be "goofy" and to keep things loose. Former teammate Denard Span corroborated Revere being "goofy", that he is a "real good teammate", and that he comes to play the right way every day. Revere is a devout Christian; he says that he prays nightly and reads his Bible weekly. In addition, Revere is a self-proclaimed history buff and wants to explore Philadelphia museums and famous sites when he no longer has to focus so much on baseball.
