Organization Prospect Rankings

Fermin ranked as the No. 28 prospect in the 2015 international signing class, and he stood out for the feel for hitting he showed in the International Prospect League before signing with the Indians for $500,000. He made his pro debut the next year in the Dominican Summer League, though injuries limited his time on the field. Fermin has a mature approach at the plate and good contact skills. He has a good feel for the barrel and hits line drives to all fields. He lacks present strength but doesn't project to hit for much power even as he physically matures. Fermin is a steady defender at shortstop with good instincts. His speed and arm strength are both average to slightly above-average, giving him a chance to stay at shortstop. While Fermin isn't overly flashy, his all-around skill set makes him an intriguing prospect. He will likely make his U.S. debut in the Rookie-level Arizona League as an 18-year-old in 2017.
