When the Cincinnati Reds brought Rookie Davis over from the New York Yankees in exchange for Aroldis Chapman, he was viewed as a potential front line starter in a steal for the Yankees. He spent all of the 2016 season in the Reds’ minor league system. Now he is in the starting rotation for Triple-A Louisville after starting the season with the Reds.
Davis pitched three innings in his first start, allowing four runs. He also allowed 2 walks, while striking out four. With five hits Davis came out of the first game with a WHIP of 2.
