ST. LOUIS – The story of Rookie Davis’ young career has been the story of the burly Cincinnati Reds right-hander searching and searching for a reliable out pitch. Now back in the majors after an extended time in Triple-A, the 24-year-old hopes he’s finally found something.

Davis now throws a splitter, which he picked up about a month ago. He used to throw a Vulcan change-up – gripped exactly how a Star Trek fan would imagine – and threw a circle change up until early August.
