The Cincinnati Reds had an interesting collection of pitchers in their rotation at various points this season. The Reds had sixteen different pitchers make at least one start for them this season. Seven of those sixteen made their first career MLB start.
One of those lucky many was rookie Rookie Davis. He made five starts in April and May before the front office grew impatient of his mediocrity. Then they sent him to the minors until September call-ups.
Davis had a horrendous April. He had an ERA of 11.57 and a WHIP of 2.59. Over three April starts he averaged 3 1/3 innings per start and spent 15 days on the DL.
