View Draft Report

Davis entered the spring No. 51 on BA's Top 100 High School prospects list after a strong summer on the travel ball circuit. He has a long, lanky body at a listed 6-foot-4, 170 pounds, reminiscent in some ways of his father Greg, who played college hoops for Cal State Fullerton. Davis also is committed to the Titans and is expected to wind up there after a broken left wrist wrecked his senior season. At his best, Davis shows savvy and instincts, as well as average raw power and bat speed, especially to his pull side. His loose hands play at the plate and in the field. He's a smooth athlete rather than a quick-twitch one and needs to gain strength to get to his power consistently. He's a below-average runner though better underway.

Davis had a strong summer on the travel-ball circuit after his junior year, but a broken left wrist ruined his senior season in 2015. With the lost year, he figured to go to Cal State Fullerton, where his father Greg had played college basketball, but instead the Dodgers signed him for $918,600, well above slot money in the fifth round. Given that Davis was coming back from injury and was just 17 when he made his pro debut, it's no surprise he struggled initially. He plays with a surprising smoothness for someone with his long, gangly frame. He has a sound righthanded swing with hands that work well at the plate. When healthy, he has shown average raw power, with a chance to improve that once he packs on needed muscle. Davis is a smart, savvy player, though he's not a quick-twitch athlete. A below-average runner without a quick first step, he played a solid shortstop in the Rookie-level Arizona League and showed sound hands, but he should slide over to third base. Davis probably will spend another year in Rookie ball in 2016.
