Remember Ike Davis? Well, the former Mets first baseman is attempting to make a comeback as…wait for it…a pitcher. Yes, you read the correctly. Ike Davis now has “LHP” next to his name on the AZL Dodgers’ roster, and his first appearance in relief actually went quite well.

Davis made his debut s a left-handed reliever on Monday, and he struck out all three batters he faced earning the first hold of his career.

Davis signed a minor league deal with LA in the offseason, and is now fully focused on pitching, leaving his dreams of returning to the major leagues as a position player behind.
