Atlanta Braves Braxton Davidson injured after hitting championship winner

Atlanta Braves‘ 1B/OF prospect Braxton Davidson has been playing some of the best baseball he has ever played since being drafted by the team. He still has a low average (.227) but was making more contact with the bat and has 7 home runs (including the one for Saturday).

Davidson was a former first round draft pick by the Atlanta Braves in 2014 out of high school as a compensatory pick after C Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees.

It was the same draft that included other now-Braves LHP Sean Newcomb, RHP Touki Toussaint, and C Alex Jackson.
