An Auburn Tigers baseball alumni is on the move. The Atlanta Braves announced that they have acquired right-handed pitcher Davis Daniel in exchange for minor-league left-handed pitcher Mitch Farris.
Daniel was born in Atlanta but spent his formative years in Montgomery. After originally committing to NC State, he switched his commitment to Auburn. He chose to enroll even after being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 34th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
He pitched for the Tigers for three seasons from 2017 to 2019. He made just one start in his final season.
