    View Draft Report
    The Big Ten Conference tournament MVP, Adam Davis will be the fourth catcher drafted from Illinois in the last 10 years, following Patrick Arlis, Chris Robinson and Lars Davis (no relation)--all of whom are currently in the upper minors. Adam Davis didn't become a full-time regular until his third year with the Illini, but the 6-foot, 215-pounder has righthanded gap power and a strong, accurate arm. He has a short swing and flashes good receiving skills, though he needs to do a better job of making contact and holding onto the ball.
